You will be cheering on the runners for this event. Leave Campus by 9:30 Girls on the Run® uses the power of running to help prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. How do we do it? Over the course of a 10 week season, girls in 3rd through 8th grade learn more about who they are, the value of teamwork and social relationships, and understanding their connection with the world at large through community service. At the same time, they are engaging in fun running games, setting goals and learning about a healthy pace – in running and in life. The season culminates with the team completing a 5k race together, giving them a tangible understanding of the confidence that comes through accomplishment. Running becomes both an activity as well as a metaphor for living. Girls on the Run Capital Region is one of 230 local GOTR councils and serves Albany, Rensselaer and Schenectady counties.
