Girls on the Run

Fri, 02/22/2019 - 2:14pm

Girls on the Run registration is OPEN and the first session is Tuesday, March 19!  Girls on the Run is an after-school program for girls in 3rd - 5th grade that meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30-4:45 pm. Teams of 10-15 girls meet twice weekly after school for 10 weeks. Each lesson focuses on themes that girls can relate to such as making and being friends, recognizing and managing emotions, and working as a team. Our trained coaches use running to inspire and motivate, encourage lifelong health and fitness, and build confidence through accomplishment. Each season concludes with the girls and their running buddies completing a 5k run which provides a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. The spring season will start March 19, with the season-ending 5k scheduled for June 1 in Columbia, Maryland.  Visit www.gotrcentralmd.org to register. Program registration fee is $175 and includes the 5k registration, water bottle, t-shirt, and all program materials. Financial assistance is available. Questions? Call 443-864-8593.
