Girls on the Run Birmingham

Girls on the Run  is a life-changing, experiential learning programs for girls in thrid-fifth grades. The program combines training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. The goals of the programs are to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development.

Girls on the Run Birmingham was started in 2011, and our first three groups met in the fall at the YWoodlawn Resource Center, Railroad Park and at Mountain Brook Junior High. This spring, in response to community desire and support, we plan to have eight teams meeting and reaching up to 100 girls.
