Girls on the Run of Northwest Indiana


  • About Us

    At Girls on the Run we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in 3rd-8th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K event.

    The Northwest Indiana council serves over 2,000 girls annually across Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Jasper, Starke, Newton, Pulaski, Benton, White, and Carroll Counties.
