Welcome to Girls on the Run of York County - a life-changing, non-profit prevention program for girls in the 3rd through 8th grade. Our mission is "to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living."

Girls on the Run of York County combines training for a 5K (3.1 miles) running race with healthy living education. Our programs instill self-esteem and strong values 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. 

Girls on the Run of York County is an Affiliate Council of Girls on the Run International, which has a network of 160 locations across the United States and Canada.

The fall season of Girls on the Run of York County starts soon.  We have three Girls on the Run of York County locations in the area. Last spring there were 36 girls participating and 13 volunteer coaches.  To find out more about our locations please click on the locations button on the left side of the page.
