Girls on the Run International

We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum.

Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity based positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-8th grade. We teach life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and running games. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K running event. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness.

Happy Global Running Day! We’re excited to enjoy this day of movement with our friends at Fleet Feet, who have something extra-special to celebrate this year.

In 1976, Sally Edwards and Elizabeth Jansen opened the first Fleet Feet in Sacramento, California, at a time when specialty running stores were rare, especially women-owned ones. Fifty years later, Fleet Feet continues to bring people together through movement.
