Girls on the Run of Northwest Indiana is a life-changing, character development program for 3rd – 8th grade girls in Porter, Lake, Jasper and LaPorte counties in Northwest Indiana. Through exercise, positive reinforcement and encouraging role models, girls develop the confidence they need during those critical preteen years. Our 90 minute lessons each combine running and walking games with various life skills including healthy eating, leadership, setting goals, cooperation, inner beauty and other age-appropriate topics.

Our hope is that each of our Girls on the Run participants and volunteers has fun and forges new friendships along the way.
