Girls on the Run Kansas City

We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Our non-profit organization is dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. Girls on the Run Serving Greater Kansas City serves over 1,000 girls ages 8-13 years old each season. Our program sites are located at more than 75 different schools and community centers in 18 counties throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area.

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.
