Girls on the Run Utah is an after school program that inspires girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident.

Through the power of running and movement, 3rd–8th grade girls of all abilities and backgrounds are given the tools they need to build confidence, make meaningful connections, and develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime.

So Much More Than Running

Led by trained volunteer coaches, teams meet twice a week during the 8-week season for interactive lessons, thoughtful discussions, and physical activities. Girls learn to believe in themselves, stand up for others, build healthy relationships, and learn how they can positively shape the world around them by executing a team community impact project.

A Finish Line They'll Never Forget

Each season ends with a 5K celebration at Sugar House Park, bringing together girls, coaches, families, and community members from across the state. For many participants, crossing the finish line is a powerful moment. Completing a 5K shows each girl that she can set a goal, work toward it, and accomplish something that once may have felt impossible.

Here for EVERY Girl

Every girl deserves a place on our team. This year, more than 1,800 girls participated at 120 sites across Utah. We never turn a girl away because of an inability to pay and provide free running shoes to participants in need. With more than 65% of our Utah participants requiring financial assistance, your support makes Girls on the Run possible.

Give today and help her build confidence and resiliency that lasts far beyond the finish line.
