Girls on the Run

PROCESS & IMPACT

What IS Girls on the Run?

Overview of Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based positive youth development program (PA-PYD) designed to develop and enhance girls’ social, psychological and physical competencies to successfully navigate life

experiences. Over the course of the program girls will:

U Develop and improve competence, feel confjdence in who they are, develop strength of character, respond to others and oneself with care and compassion, create positive connections with peers and adults and make a meaningful contribution to community and society. Such life skills will prevent unhealthy and risky behaviors, such as physical inactivity and negative body image, and promote positive health outcomes (e.g., physical, mental, social and spiritual health).

Running Buddies

Each Girls on the Run participant will need an adult “Running Buddy” who will take part in the race alongside them both for safety and to provide encouragement and

support. We encourage you to help them brainstorm positive role models in their

lives who might be willing to act as a running buddy on race day. This may be a family member, a close family friend, a favorite teacher or another responsible adult. It is always more special when the running buddy is a friend or family member , however we do have a team of volunteers for those girls who don’t have a family member or friend who is able to run.

What we need from running buddies:
Running buddies must be registered runners in the race; the registration fee

for running buddies is $45. They need to register themselves through the race web site (including paying the race registration cost). We ask that they register in advance so that we can recruit an accurate number of volunteer running buddies.

Running buddies must be over the age of 18, but can be any family member or

family- designated buddy (yes, fathers, uncles, grandfathers are permitted)

Practice 5K Run

The practice 5K run will be incorporated into Lesson 15 of the
curriculum. With GOTR practices kicking off on February 12th,

this means that the practice 5K will be held at our April 16th practice.

This is the one GOTR practice at which the girls’ friends and

families are invited to attend and participate, however this is by no means required, the coaching staff will be facilitating this activity, just as they would any other lesson in the program. There is a chance that this particular practice could run a little longer than the usual 1.5 hours, the coaches will be sure to give ample notice to parents if this should be the case.
