Girls on the Run & Girls on Track Run 5K in Asheville

Girls on the Run and Girls on Track is a curriculum-based, life-enhancing, character-development program serving girls in the 3rd through 8th grades.  Girls on the  Run combines training for a 5K (3.1 mile) running event with healthy  living education.  The program seeks to instill self-esteem through health  education, life skills development, mentoring relationships, and  physical training – all of which are accomplished through an active  collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff  and the community.

On Saturday, December 8, 2012 girls participating in TLC’s Girls on the Run and Girls on Track programs traveled to Asheville, NC to run the 5K.  This race was an empowering and uplifting culmination to a wonderful semester and fun was had by all!
