We are excited to offer 18 different locations for girls in the Shenandoah Valley to partipate in our 2023 Spring program. 

The first week of the program starts Februry 6. 

During 10 weeks, Girls on the Run Shenandoah Valley inspires girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based positive youth development (PA-PYD) program designed to enhance girls’ social, psychological, and physical skills and behaviors to successfully navigate life experiences. The program’s intentional curriculum places an emphasis on the development of competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution in young girls. Trained, caring, and qualified coaches deliver the life skills curriculum during out-of-school times by guiding small teams of girls through twice-a-lessons that promote social-emotional learning concurrently with physical activity. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and completing a celebratory, non-competitive 5K event on April 22 at Jim Barnett Park, Winchester, VA.

We are always looking for new sites to offer our program for girls in 3rd - 8th grade in the Shenandoh Valley. Girls on the Run Shenandoah Valley serves the cities of Winchester and Harrisonburg, and Clarke, Frederick, Page, Rockingham, Shenandoah and Warren Counties in Virginia, and Berkeley, Hampshire, Hardy, Jefferson, Grant, Mineral, and Morgan Counties in West Virginia. If you do not have a program at your school or community site, contact us today to learn how to bring a program to you for the Spring Season!
