Girls on the Run of Greater Milwaukee is part of a larger cause, Girls on the Run International. It’s an organization dedicated to inspiring girls to be healthy, confident and happy through a creative running program. The program is a 12-week, 24-lesson experience where girls have the opportunity to develop self-esteem and stronger bonds through the others around them. The girls do all of this while training for a 5k race.
There are two specific programs: Girls on the Run for girls in grades 3 through 5 and Girls on Track, for girls in grades 6 through 8.
