Girls on the Run is coming to Cambridge this spring and registration is open on a first come first serve basis. It's more than a running program - it's designed to support girls' physical and emotional health and growth. Girls will have fun making connections and meeting new friends. Girls will get outside, set goals, and train for a 5K while learning intentional decision making, how to use their voice and become confident leaders.

Activities include: social emotional learning, journal writing, goal setting, emotional regulation, walking/running/skipping at your "Happy Pace".
