Welcome to Girls on the Run of Lehigh County. Girls on the Run is a life-changing, prevention-focused program for girls in third through eighth grades. The mission of Girls on the Run is “to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.”
Girls on the Run combines training for a 5K (3.1-mile) running event with healthy-living education. Our programs instill self-esteem and strong values through health education, life skills development, mentoring relationships, and physical training—all of which are accomplished through active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff members, and the community.
Sponsored by Diakon Family Life Services – Northeastern Pennsylvania, Girls on the Run of Lehigh County is an Affiliate/Independent Council of Girls on the Run International, which has a network of more than 160 locations across the United States and Canada (both links open new browser windows).
