Girls on the Run of Berks County

We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. Girls on the Run is a national organization that has local councils throughout the U.S. Girls on the Run of Berks County was established in the fall of 2013.

We offer a youth-based development program to girls in 3rd-8th grade which is facilitated by nationally trained volunteer coaches. Teams meet twice a week for ten weeks for practices during either our fall or spring season. The culminating activity is participating in a celebratory 5K event.

We recruit, train, and support volunteer coaches to facilitate Girls on the Run curriculum to teams of 6-15 girls. We provide all curriculum materials and supplies to help each team have a fun and successful season.
