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.

Girls deserve every opportunity to move, grow, and believe in themselves. This International Day of the Girl, we're proud to celebrate our continued partnership with adidas and our shared belief in the power of sport to build confidence. Through access to low-cost, high-quality footwear, our friends at adidas are helping more girls feel ready, supported, and confident as they take on new challenges.

Taking care of your mental health matters. On World Mental Health Day, we're celebrating the skills that help girls grow their confidence, navigate their emotions, and build supportive relationships. At Girls on the Run, our research-based programming gives girls the space to understand themselves, connect with others, and discover that taking care of their minds is an important part of taking care of themselves.

We know being a girl today looks different than it did in 1996, but Girls on the Run has grown and adapted to meet the changing needs of girls — and will continue to do so in the future! In honor of National Youth Sports Week, we’re excited to highlight the latest installment of our Behind the Mission series, featuring a conversation with GOTR CEO Elizabeth Kunz and Chief Program Officer Allison Riley, Ph.D., MSW, about what research tells us about positive youth development, and how those principles inform the GOTR curriculum, coach training, and overall program experience: https://bit.ly/4zpkHtw
