Welcome to Girls on the Run of Magee-Womens Hospital – a life-changing, non-profit prevention program for girls in the 3rd through 8th grades. Our mission 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 miles) 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 an active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff and the community.
Girls on the Run of Magee-Womens Hospital is an Affiliate/Independent Council of Girls on the Run International, which has a network of over 150 locations across the United States and Canada.
