Girls on the Run of North Central West Virginia

We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.

Over a period of 10 weeks, girls in the 3rd through 8th grades participate in an after-school program like no other. Designed to allow every girl to recognize her inner strength, the curriculum inspires girls to define their lives on their own terms. Throughout the season, the girls make new friends, build their confidence and celebrate all that makes them unique.  The program is offered at two levels (Girls on the Run for 3rd - 5th grade and Heart & Sole for 6th - 8th grade). Volunteer coaches lead each team of 8 to 20 girls each spring (approximately March - May).  The season culminates with a celebratory 5K each May that draws over 1000 participants.
