Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity based positive youth development program for girls in third through eighth grade. We teach life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and running games. Girls on the Run culminates with a celebratory 5K running event that the girls are physically and emotionally prepared to complete! The goal of this program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness.

Girls on the Run is hosted twice a year at various locations/schools throughout the Greater Des Moines area. Seasons are typically ran from September-November and March-May.
