Girls on the Run
educates and prepares girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy
living. Third to eighth grade girls in New Castle County form teams
of approximately 14 girls, who meet twice weekly over a ten-week
period in a fall and spring session at local grade schools and
cultural organizations. Under the guidance of community volunteers,
girls train for a 5K (3.1 mile) race/walk. Our program instills
self-esteem and strong values through health education, life skills
development, mentoring relationships and physical training—all of
which are accomplished through an active collaboration with girls and
their parents, schools, volunteers, staff, and the community. In 2010
we are kicking off our "Solemates" program, the fundraising arm of
Girls on the Run. Sign up to be one of the FIRST New Castle County
Solemates and run/walk the Delaware Marathon, Half-Marathon or Team
relay and raise a minimum of $262 to support our scholarship program.
To learn more about our program or to sign up to be a Solemate,
please visit our website at www.GirlsOnTheRunDE.org
