Welcome to Girls on the Run of Western Colorado-- a life-changing, non-profit prevention program for girls in the 3rd through 5th grade. Our mission is to provide affordable and accessible programs to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. Our programs are offered in communities throughout Western Colorado.
Girls on the Run is an after school program that uses 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, participants learn how to celebrate being girls.The program focuses on building self-esteem and improving emotional and physical health. During the 10-week program, 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. Coaches teach specific life lessons such as dealing with body image and the media, resisting peer pressure, making healthy decisions and contributing to the community. Along the way, the girls train together to walk or a run a 5K (3.1 mile event). Girls on the Run of the Grand Valley is an Affiliate/Independent Council of Girls on the Run International, which has a network of over 170 locations across the United States and Canada.
