Girls on the Run

The Girls on the Run program is an experiential learning program for 3rd through 5th grade girls. The innovative curriculum, designed exclusively for pre-teen girls, includes running workouts and games that teach specific life skills such as how to make healthy decisions and get along in a group. Girls on the Run will prepare girls for a 1 or 3.1 mile running event while improving participants' self-esteem and promoting physical, emotional, mental, and social development.

The program has been featured in many publications including Runner's World, Running Times, Cooking Light, American Girl Magazine, People Magazine, and Parent Magazine.

The 2008-2010 GFWC-NC President and Junior Director's Special Project is a partnership with Girls on the Run of North Carolina. GFWC-NC will support the Girls on the Run program by raising $50,000.00, collecting items for Coaches and participants and volunteering at race events. The General Federation of Women's Clubs- North Carolina (GFWC-NC) was organized in May 1902 and is a volunteer organization of 150 clubs across the state. Women of all ages, interests and backgrounds work together to make their hometowns, state and nation a better place through local community service.
