Girls on the Run is a physical-activity based, positive youth development program for girls in 3rd through 8th grades that provides social-emotional learning through a  curriculum that creatively integrates running. St. Louis participants come from 23 counties across eastern Missouri and western Illinois and their season culminates in a 5k experience.

We strive to make the program accessible for all girls by offering scholarships to participants whose families may not be able to cover the full cost of registration. In a typical year, more than 90% of girls receive full or partial scholarships totaling nearly $500,000.

Thank you for your support!

Each season comes to an end with a celebratory 5K. This closing event gives program participants of all abilities a tangible sense of accomplishment. Crossing the finish line instills confidence through completion and is a joyful moment program participants always remember! Everyone in our program receives a commemorative medal to celebrate this incredible achievement.

Course Info:

Our 5K course will start and end at Ballpark Village.

There will be one start time this season - 8:00 AM. To keep the course less crowded, we will start groups of teams and community runners on a staggered release, with a few minutes between each start. Look for volunteers in bright pink and yellow shirts who will release each group across the start line!

January 23 - April 30: $30
