Spring Girls on the Run Program

Girls on the Run is a life changing, experimental learning program for girls grades 3-5 and 6-8. The program combines training for a 5K running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. The goals of the program are to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development. Check out the official Girls on the Run website at www.girlsontherun.org

Girls on the Run Recap

This fall, our Girls on the Run programs were a huge success! Over 150 girls participated in the program hailing several PCCS schools, as well as Barth Elementary in Romulus and Moraine Elementary in Northville. The girls spent ten weeks with their volunteer coaches participating in fun, self-esteem building activities and training for the 2nd annual Flurry Scurry 5K run. On November 22nd, nearly 500 girls and family members finished the 5K run in the foggy weather at Kensington Metro Park. This year was the first Greater Detroit Council race, meaning that every girl in Girls on the Run from Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties participated in the race.

This week, our GOTR program received a great writeup in the hometownlife.com newspaper! read the news article.

Girls on the Run is a character development program for girls in 3rd through 8th grade that combines life skill lessons with training for a 5K walk or run, in a creative, interactive and incredibly FUN way! The program provides the necessary tools for girls to manage the tough times of adolescence so they are better prepared to live contented and full lives as the wonderful adult women they will become.

The Plymouth YMCA is excited to continue the growth of this wonderful program. The Spring session of GOTR begins early April and will culminate with an entrance in our Father’s Day Run 5K. Look for registrations in February 2010. If you are interested in learning more about the program or volunteering to coach a team of girls or bringing this great program to your daughter’s school, please call or email Heather Jones at hjones@ymcametrodetroit.org.
