Girls on the Run registering
Girls on the Run of the Tri County, presented by Piedmont Medical Center, is gearing up for the spring season. Registration is open for all sites.
Girls on the Run is an after-school program using the power of running to help prepare girls for a lifetime of self respect and healthy living. Through interactive activities such as running, playing games and discussing important issues, girls learn to celebrate being themselves.
The program focuses on building self-esteem and improving emotional and physical health. Lessons are designed to enhance the social, mental, physical and emotional health of preteen girls. During the 24 sessions girls are empowered with a greater self awareness, a sense of achievement and a foundation in team building to help them become strong, contented and self confident young women.
