Welcome to Girls on the Run of Greater Lynchburg – a life-changing, non-
profit prevention program for girls in the 3rd through 8th grade.  Our mission
is “to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy
living.”

Girls on the Run combines training for a 5K (3.1 miles) running event with
healthy living education.  Our programs instill self-esteem 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.

Girls on the Run of Greater Lynchburg is an Affiliate/Independent Council of
Girls on the Run International which has a network of 160 locations across
the United States and Canada.
