“At first, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Now I can’t believe it took me so long to find this organization. It is amazing and very unique. Not only will the girls walk away with confidence in themselves but you will too.”

“I am not a runner, I have never been a runner, nor will I ever be a runner. But one of the beautiful things about Girls on the Run is that it is so much more than a running program. It is a safe place where all girls are accepted, they learn to appreciate what makes them special and how to make healthy and smart decisions. I can truly say that I got more out of being a coach then I ever expected and will carry the lessons that I taught the girls with me in my own life as well.”

“I was intimidated at first, but then I met the girls. Teaching lessons of self-love, the importance of the mind and body connection and how to be more confident was truly life-changing. It was an experience I will treasure forever.”
