What We Do

Girls on the Run inspires girls of all abilities to recognize their individual strengths while building a sense of connection in a team setting. Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development to enable girls to adapt to whatever comes their way. At the end of the season, the team completes a 5K together, which provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and sets a confident mindset into motion. Girls on the Run Greater Charlotte proudly serves Mecklenburg, Gaston, Lincoln, Cleveland, Catawba, and Cabarrus counties.
