Dear Girls on the Run Parent/Guardian,
Our Spring 2023 season is well underway and all of our participants have been consistently growing individually and as a team! We hope you are seeing positive changes in your Girl on the Run – We definitely have!
END OF SEASON 5K DETAILS
By now, you have probably already heard your girl talk about the end of Season 5K. At the end of the season, girls participate in a joyful and fun non-competitive 5K. This is the culmination of the program and gives participants a tangible sense of accomplishment, recognizing their inner strengths and celebrating what makes each one of them unique!

PRACTICE 5K
The teams are hopping, skipping, jumping, and running their way to the end-of-season 5K. As a matter of fact, the teams will be hosting their practice 5K very soon. This is a great opportunity to join in the fun— be it running, passing out water, or simply being at the finish line to cheer all the girls up. Check in with your coaches and see when the practice 5K will be and how they can use your help!
COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT
As the season progresses, the girls will learn about how all our individual and collective strengths can help a larger group and how to positively influence and make a difference in their various communities. The upcoming lessons will be leading up to the Community Impact Project. The teams will be discussing compromise and cooperation, and how by using these two concepts, they can come up with an idea for this big project.
