Girls on the Run

City of Riverside Girls on the Run Team

Girls on the Run is a life-changing, learning program for girls in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. The 10-week character building program combines training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts.

The goal of the program is to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development. All of which are accomplished through an active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff, and community.

Riverside Site
The City of Riverside is home to one Girls on the Run site.  Our site meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 to 6 p.m. at EH Young Park (or Community Center in inclement weather).  The 2012 session begins on March 4 and will run through May 19.

Scholarships
Scholarships are also available to girls who qualify for free or reduced lunches.  More information about the scholarships is available in the registration form below.

5K
Each Girls on the Run session ends with a 5K where girls from all over the Metro come to participate.  Registration is now open for the Spring 5K, which will be held right here in Riverside!

Sponsors
The City of Riverside Girls on the Run site and scholarships are made possible through the support of the City of Riverside and a grant from Argosy's Hearts and Hands fund.
