Opening Registration for An Empowering Program for Girls

Rock Hill, S.C.: An exciting announcement has been made for young girls in the tri-county area. Registration for the Spring 2024 season of Girls on the Run will officially open on January 15th. This empowering program, which focuses on promoting confidence, self-esteem, and overall health and fitness among girls, is not just a running initiative; it’s a movement designed to inspire young girls to recognize their inner strength and potential.

Details of the Program

The Girls on the Run program lasts for ten weeks and is set to commence on February 12th with the season finale 5K slated to occur in downtown Rock Hill on Saturday, May 4th. Over this period, the girls would meet twice per week for 1.5 hours at a pop, with specific dates and timeline varying by location.

Much of the program’s unique events and exercise routines will take place at various elementary and middle schools spread across the tri-county area, making it a convenient initiative for girls from different communities and educational institutions.

Steps to Register

For interested families, guardians, and their girls, registration can be easily done by visiting the Girls on the Run official website and navigating to the “Girls on the Run Tri County SC” page. Registration will be open until the program starts or until all slots are filled, so early registration is advised.

More Than a Running Program

Girls on the Run is more than a run. It’s a holistic program that combines training for a 5K (3.1 miles) with an interactive curriculum to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles in pre-teen girls. The sessions consist of fun, educational lessons that celebrate the joy of movement, aimed to inspire girls to stay active and nurture their physical wellbeing.

In a world where girls are often bombarded with pressures and mixed messages about how they should act and who they should be, programs like Girls on the Run provide an essential space for them to feel validated and secure in their personal journey.
