About Girls on The Run Capital Region

At Girls on the Run Capital Region we inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Girls on the Run Capital Region, Inc. was founded in Fall 2013 as an independent, 501(c)3 council of Girls on the Run International. We serve girls in Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Schenectady counties. Our first team of ten girls was held in spring 2014. Thus far we have served almost 3000 girls and we are continuing to grow. More than 100 volunteers each season offer their time and talents to make this program come alive for our girls. At Girls on the Run we inspire ALL girls to build confidence and make intentional decisions, while fostering care and compassion for self and others. Trained coaches use physical activity and dynamic discussions to build social, emotional and physical skills in every girl while encouraging healthy habits for life.
