Girls on the Run is a non-profit program that inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that integrates confidence building, community service and physical activity.

“Female adolescence is an especially difficult time period for any girl, no matter her background,” explained Robyn Cutler, Director for Girls on the Run Northeast Ohio. “Girls can struggle with life’s challenges, losing sight of who they are or how they fit in. Girls on the Run Northeast Ohio helps girls overcome these challenges. We can help provide the essential tools to embrace their individual strengths and teach them how to make healthy lifestyle decisions.”
Teams begin meeting the week of March 7th for ten weeks. The season then culminates in an untimed 5k for the girls, coaches, family members and community on May 22nd.
