A little information about Girls on the Run from their website:

Girls on the Run is a national non-profit educational and running program for pre-adolescent girls (ages 8-11) that strengthens girls physically, emotionally, and socially in preparation to face the upcoming pressures of adolescence.

The 14-week program combines self-esteem enhancing life-lessons, discussions, and running games in an encouraging, girl-positive environment where girls can feel free to express themselves and build their confidence.

The goal of Girls on the Run is to empower girls early in their lives to find strength, courage and self-respect from within and draw upon it as they face the challenges of adolescence and adulthood.
