At Girls on the Run we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in 3rd-8th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K event.

The course is a 2.1 mile loop at Cessna Activity Center in South Wichita near Oliver and George Washington Blvd (2744 George Washington Blvd, Wichita, KS 67210 is entrance into park). The trail is grass/dirt and includes a wooded section and very little elevation change on each loop. The course is a great place to set a personal record! How many miles can you run? It’s up to you! The event will be chip-timed by the Timer Guys. Details on that below. The parking lot can be accessed off George Washington Blvd.
