Girls on the Run of NJ East is excited to announce its Fall 2011 program. 

Girls on the Run^® is an experiential learning, non-profit prevention program for girls in grades 3 to 5 designed to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.

The 10-week program follows a national curriculum focused on building self-esteem and improving emotional and physical health with training for a 3.1 mile (5K) event.  Participants learn how to make healthy decisions, resolve conflict, and get along in a group.  We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.

Registration for our fall season is open now at www.girlsontherunnj.org. All program sites meet twice/week for 1 hour and 15 minutes per session. Mercer county sites include Pennington, Hopewell, Princeton and East Windsor.

The program cost is $185 per girl and is available regardless of family income.  Please contact us at info@girlsontherunnj.org to request financial assistance.  Session dates are approximately Sept. 10 to Nov. 20. For more information, please contact Anne Klein @ kleins.nj1@verizon.net .

Girls on the Run of NJ East is an Independent Council of Girls on the Run^® International, which has a network of more than 150 Girls on the Run councils across the United States and Canada.  Our program is proudly sponsored nationally by New Balance and Goody.
