| Welcome to Girls on the Run Sutter County |
Girls on the Run® is a life-changing, character development program for girls in 3rd
through 5th grade. Our mission is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident
using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. We use
the power of running to provide girls with the tools to:
Celebrate their unique self - Recognize their gifts - Activate their personal power
Girls on the Run of Sutter County is an independent council of Girls on the Run
International, founded in 1996, by Molly Barker, a visionary, Ironman triathlete. Today,
there are 190+ locations across the U.S. & Canada, with new locations added each
year. Locally, the Soroptimist Club of Marysville/Yuba City brought Girls on the Run to Sutter County in 2008. Girls on the
Run combines training for a 5k (3.1 miles) event with healthy living education. We use exercise, positive reinforcement and
encouraging role models to help girls discover the confidence they need in those critical pre-teen years and beyond.
Through interactive activities and discussions, Girls on the Run teaches girls how to deal with negative influences such as
peer-pressure, bullying and gossiping while learning how to celebrate being their unique and real selves.
