Girls on the Run - DC offers a life-changing, positive youth empowerment program for girls in 3rd-8th grade. Our mission is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Our transformative 10-week program culminates with a celebratory 5K where the girls get to experience the thrill of accomplishing a goal they once thought impossible alongside friends, family, and the DC community!
We hope that you'll join us to celebrate the girls' accomplishments! By running for our girls, you'll embrace their limitless potential and support our next generation of future leaders. Volunteers are at the heart of our organization and are who allow us to serve approximately 2,200 girls a year at roughly a 70% scholarship rate. We believe all girls should have access to our transformative and empowering program regardless of their financial situation.
