At Girls on the Run we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in 3rd-8th grade 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.
Girls on the Run SoleMates are community members who are working towards completing a race (any race, walking/biking/triathlon, any distance, any location!) while raising money for Girls on the Run Serving Greater Kansas City to provide financial aid for who otherwise could not participate in our program. All funds raised provide scholarships for girls in our community to participate in our life-changing program. SoleMates support Girls on the Run in serving over 5,000 girls annually in Kansas City and providing $500,000 in scholarships each year!
