With emphasis on teamwork and healthy relationships, this program demonstrates how girls can have a positive impact on the world through a community impact project. Physical activity is woven into the program to inspire an appreciation for fitness and healthy habits. The girls also learn life skills including treating others with care, practicing gratitude, and managing emotions. The session finishes with a celebratory, non-competitive Girls on the Run 5K event.
No after-school sports on early dismissal or no-school days.

Spring: GOTR Heart and Sole 6-8
Heart & Sole is Girls on the Run's middle school program that meets the unique needs of girls in sixth-eighth grade. The program considers the whole girl - body, brain, heart, spirit and social connection - in a positive, structured space where girls can learn about themselves, explore new ideas, cultivate empathy and strengthen connections. Running is incorporated into each lesson to encourage physical wellness and teach life skills such as team building, creating a support system, standing up for themselves and others and decision making. The girls prepare for a celebratory Girls on the Run 5K event at the end of the program. This non-competitive event fosters goal setting and a sense of confidence through accomplishment to last a lifetime.
