At Girls on the Run, we believe that every girl is unique. She has her own story to tell, talents to share, and experiences that shape how she sees herself and the world around her. Our philosophy is that she is born with immeasurable potential- potential that will shine a bright light in this world. In fact, we believe girls can move mountains.

We know (and data proves!) that the complicated world that our girls grow up in can often dim this light. This is why Girls on the Run is so critical. Our programs promote resiliency by equipping girls with the tools they need to navigate life's difficult situations, such as coping skills, positive self-image, and positive self-talk.

Girls on the Run provides a safe and inclusive place for so many girls. Girls on the Run of the Rockies eliminates barriers to participation by covering program costs for girls in need of financial support & adapting curricula for participants with disabilities. We are advancing equity in activity by creating spaces to try new things and test personal limits. In a world of Facetime and filters, Girls on the Run helps to create community and social connectivity.

Girls on the Run is so much more than a running program. It is a movement built on movement and it is empowering girls all along the Front Range. Together, we are helping create the next generation of strong, empowered individuals that will transform their communities and the world around them.
