Girls on the Run 5K hosted by Ballpark Village

Girls on the Run is a youth development program designed for girls in 3rd to 8th grade, integrating social-emotional learning with running. It serves participants from 23 counties in eastern Missouri and western Illinois. The program aims to be accessible to all girls by providing scholarships, supporting over 90% of participants annually. The season concludes with a celebratory event, independent of program registration. The initiative is well-supported, with substantial funding for scholarships each year. For further details on partaking in the ongoing activities or being involved beyond this, visiting their official website is recommended.
