Hear what parents of Girls on the Run participants are saying about this life-changing program:

“Girls on the Run is a wonderful opportunity; it not only teaches the importance of exercise and nutrition but gives the girls the confidence they will need to have a successful future.”

“Since my daughter has been participating in Girls on the Run, I have noticed some changes in her. [She]is very athletic, but she loves her sweets. Since she has been in Girls on the Run, she has definitely cut back on the unhealthy snacks. She begs me to buy different fruit for her to try and she is always talking about what’s healthy and unhealthy. I have to admit, she even stops me when I am talking about my weight in a negative way. She tells me to stop, and she always follows by saying something nice. I appreciate all the work that Mrs. Nicholson does with the girls and I think that they are learning things that will benefit them for the rest of their lives!!”

“I believe that Girls on the Run program helped her come out of her shell to be the person she is today.”

“Girls on the run has been a wonderful experience for my daughter.  I can see how this has helped in all areas of her life…Girls on the Run has motivated her physically and has boosted her self confidence and security.  She expresses how much fun she has and wants to go to every practice.  Running in the last event was quite an accomplishment for her when she crossed the finish line.  It was on of the best moments of her life thus far, and mine as well.  Thank You for being dedicated and invested in my child’s future.  What a great event and I hope it continues for years to come.”

“[My daughter] has truly benefited from Girls on the Run.  She is much more aware of her physical well-being and the importance of exercise.  She has gained confidence in her abilities to stay in the race and see it through to the finish line – no matter where she will place in the race.  It is more important to see it through than to win.  I am so proud of her and what she has accomplished!  It has been wonderful to see the encouragement and support she gets through this program.”
