Edwardsville Girls on the Run
2/28/2017 -
Edwardsville is offering the Girls on the Run (GOTR) program to all 3rd-6th grade girls in the surrounding area! Any girl who is interested must register at girlsontherunstlouis.org or by calling the GOTR St. Louis office by 5pm on March 3, 2017. The season will begin February 28th and go until May 13th. **Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based positive youth development program (PA-PYD) designed to develop and enhance girls’ social, psychological and physical competencies to successfully navigate life experience. The mission of Girls on the Run St. Louis is to empower girls for a lifetime of healthy living. Our program inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. The 20-lesson Girls on the Run curriculum combines training for a 5k (3.1 miles) running event with lessons that inspire girls to become independent thinkers, enhance their problem solving skills and make healthy decisions. All of this is accomplished through an active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff, and the community.
