Girls on the Run of Middle Tennessee is an after-school program for 8 to 13-year-old girls that uses the power of running to prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. Our research-based curriculum teaches girls important social and emotional life skills such as responsible decision-making and conflict resolution. These lessons guide girls to be open-minded, embrace differences, how to use positive self-talk and stand up for themselves and others. Our 10-week season culminates with a celebratory, non-competitive 5k run to teach the importance of accomplishment and goal setting.

 

Mission statement: We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.
