Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based, positive youth development program that uses fun running games and dynamic discussions to teach life skills to girls in 3rd to 8th grade. During the 10-week after-school program, girls participate in lessons that foster confidence, build peer connections and encourage community service while they prepare to run the “graduation” 5K. The GOTR 5K event is also open to the public and proceeds from the event will benefit Girls on the Run of the North State. Participants will run along the River Trail, past the Sundial Bridge, around the beautiful McConnell Arboretum before heading back the way they started.
