Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run® is a transformational physical activity-based positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-5th grade. We teach life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and running games. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k running event. The program aims to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness. Registration fee includes shirt and entry fee into 5K. Our Mead team will meet twice weekly and attend a 5K running event. 

The Girls on the Run team in Mead needs volunteer coaches. Help empower girls and inspire them to honor their voices, embrace their gifts, and celebrate their strengths. As a coach, you will lead a team of 8-16 girls through the fun, interactive Girls on the Run curriculum while helping the girls train for a 5K. Through Girls on the Run and the inspiration of their coaches, girls learn to activate their limitless potential and boldly pursue their dreams. You and your co-coach will meet with your team twice weekly from March 5 to May 11. No running experience is required. If you are interested in coaching in your town, please email the Recreation Coordinator at knewbanks@townofmead.org.
