Empowerment Program for 3rd-8th Grade Girls Returns to San Diego

Girls on the Run San Diego, a nonprofit organization, is excited to start the 26th season of their character development program for adolescent girls at 36 locations throughout San Diego County!

Girls on the Run inspires girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities, and running games.

Over the course of the 10-week season, girls in 3rd-8th grades develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k event.

Since 2006, Girls on the Run San Diego has served more than 7,100 girls throughout San Diego County. Thanks to the generous support of donors, Girls on the Run is open to all girls, regardless of financial situation.

The Fall 2018 season of Girls on the Run in San Diego will start in mid-September and run through early December. In small teams, girls and volunteer coaches will meet twice weekly. Over the span of 10 weeks, girls will learn how to live with confidence, character, care, connection, and competence.

Registration for the Fall 2018 season will be open from August 1st through early October (dates vary by team). To learn more, find your nearest team, and to register, visit www.gotrsd.org/program-registration.
