Girls on the Run Treasure Valley

Girls on the Run Treasure Valley is a local nonprofit organization that operates in agreement with Girls on the Run International and is dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. Our program currently serves six counties in southwest Idaho. Founded in 2001, Girls on the Run Treasure Valley has served over 11,000 girls in our community, with more than 1000 girls expected to participate in our programs in 2021.

Girls on the Run programs provide a safe and interactive way to learn about healthy living, including education on essential topics such as goal-setting, cooperation, healthy decision-making, and self-respect while training for a 5K event. The innovative curriculum teaches girls to listen and open up while also encouraging them to commit to a healthy lifestyle and harness their inner strength. Our important mission is accomplished by giving girls the tools to make positive choices for a healthy body and mind while reducing the many risks they face today.

Girls on the Run believes that all girls and communities should have access to our programs. We commit to eliminate barriers to participation, to continue creating programming that engages all communities, to be intentional about the staff and volunteer diversity, and to promote a culture of inclusion across the organization.
