🌟 What an Amazing 2026 Season! 🌟

As another BIO Girls - Fergus Falls Running season has come to a close, our hearts are full of gratitude.

This season was filled with growth, confidence, friendships, and countless moments that reminded us why this program matters so much. None of it would be possible without the incredible support of our community.

Thank you to Fergus Falls Public Schools for providing a wonderful home for our program at Kennedy Secondary School and to our many sponsors for their generosity and belief in our mission.

To our families, friends, Mentors, Site Leader, and other supporters near and far—thank you for encouraging these girls, cheering them on, and helping create a place where they can grow and thrive.

We are so proud of every girl who showed up, supported one another, and discovered just how strong she is.

Here's to another wonderful season of BIO! 💕🏃🏼‍♀️✨

P.S. Keep an eye out for exciting upcoming BIO Girls opportunities in Fergus Falls!

Watching our BIO Girls move through the course -- with sunshine 🌞 on their shoulders, smiles 😎 shared between friends, and a quiet confidence growing 🌱 with every step -- was such a beautiful reminder of why this program matters. We are so proud of these girls and mentors and all they've accomplished! ❤❤❤

To our volunteers, organizers, and every supportive spectator: thank you. 🙏 Your presence, your cheers, and your kindness shaped the experience just as much as the miles themselves. We truly felt your support with each stride. 🏃‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Session 11: Failure and Perseverance

Failure is often seen as a bad thing. We mess up. We make mistakes. We don’t do our best. But failure can also be a gift. Today we focused on making progress, pushing through challenges, and learning to accept our mistakes with grace. We learned there are many benefits to failing and how learning to grow from failure helps us persevere in life. Our mantra: I FALL. I RISE. I REPEAT. Reminds us that failure is a part of life, it’s not something you outgrow!

Also, we had a special guest (the Race Director for our upcoming race) come to go over some important race information and answer questions. Thank you, Karoline! We're excited for next Saturday morning!!

Session 10: Change-Makers

We kicked off our session today with a devotion and a good reminder that the work done with our hearts and hands today can be felt by others in our community and beyond. Our mantra: LIVE TO SERVE!

One of the best days of BIO Girls is Service Project Day! This session is dedicated to giving back to our community. We chose to help Lake Region Takes Root Community Garden. Jason and Sidney were great in helping the group with tasks today. Their organization grows an outstanding amount of food to distribute for families having difficulty accessing healthy foods. And in years past, the local BIO Girls cross-training group has helped harvest the food in the fall.

The best part about giving back is that anyone can do it.

We're meeting at the Lake Region Takes Root Community Garden for our session today!
