About Girls on the Run St. Louis
Girls on the Run St. Louis (GOTR-STL) empowers girls for a lifetime of healthy living through an innovative, experience-based curriculum that combines training for a 5K (3.1 mile) running event with lessons that inspire girls in 3rd through 8th grade to become independent thinkers, enhance their problem solving skills and make healthy decisions. The 20-lesson curriculum is taught during a 10 week season by trained volunteer coaches and includes three parts: understanding ourselves, valuing relationships and teamwork, and understanding how we connect with, and shape, the world at large. At the conclusion of each season, girls and their running buddies complete a 5k running event giving the girls a tangible sense of achievement and a framework for setting, and achieving, life goals.
