Girls on the Run invites 6th-8th grade girls to join Heart & Sole, a 10-week program with a small team size of 8-15 girls so that girls have an opportunity to build strong connections with one another and their coaches. (Mon and Wed 3:15-4:45pm) The program addresses the whole girl — body, brain, heart, spirit and social connection, building important life skills such as team-building, developing a support system, boundary setting, decision making, asking for and providing help, and more. Physical activity remains a core element of this program and includes strength and conditioning appropriate for this age group. The season culminates with a 5K, a celebratory event that is shared with their team, coaches, friends, family, and running buddies. Cost $175.
