Girls on the Run of Anderson
Welcome
Welcome to Girls on the Run of Anderson
Girls on the Run is non-profit program that encourages preteen and teen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running. The curriculum addresses all aspects of the girls’ development – their physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual well-being. Girls on the Run combines training for a 5k (3.1 miles) event with healthy living education. We use exercise, positive reinforcement, and encouraging role models to help girls discover the confidence they need in those critical pre-teen years and beyond.
Girls on the Run International is the parent organization of more than 160 locations across the United States and Canada. GOTRI establishes, trains and supports a network of community-level councils with local volunteers. The volunteers serve as role models to the girls through coaching the 12-week, 24 lesson curriculum. The curriculum is delivered in these areas through our after-school programs.
Girls on the Run of Anderson currently meets on Mondays and Thursdays from 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm at the Anderson Area YMCA. The program’s fees are $175 and cover professional leadership, t-shirt, registration for season end 5K race, banquet, program, snacks and prizes. Scholarships are available. We are an affilliate of the Anderson Area YMCA.
Our Fall Season will begin on September 9, 2010. Registration opens on August 16th. We have lowered our price and are expecting to have full teams this season. Please register early so you don’t end up on a waiting list.
