Girls on the Run is a life-changing, character development program for girls in third through fifth grade. We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Girls on the Run of New Jersey is an Affiliate Council of Girls on the Run International, which has a network of more than 140 chapters across the United States and Canada.
The dynamic 10-week program combines training for a 5k running race with education and interactive discussions about critical issues that will affect pre-teen girls as they reach adolescence. Trained volunteer coaches teach life lessons to girls through fun and clever running games and workouts. Our goal is that girls completing the program are physically, mentally, and emotionally stronger and better prepared to overcome the challenges and pressures of adolescence and beyond.
Our Mooretown site will meet at Boundary Creek Park on Wednesday and Friday 4:15–5:30p.m., beginning in mid-September and running thru mid-November. For more GOTR information, please visit our website at www.girlsontherunnj.org.
