Girls on the Run of Middle Tennessee

Oct 17, 2023

Mission Statement

We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.

Girls on the Run is a non-profit after-school program that uses the power of running to educate and prepare 8 to 13 year-old girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. Our research-based curriculum teaches life skills for the whole girl; body, brain, heart, spirit, and social connection. The program culminates with a celebratory, non-competitive 5k to teach a sense of accomplishment and goal setting.

Through a partnership with MNPS’s Community Achieves, Guilds take place on-site at several Title I MNPS as well as at our Metro Center facility.
