Fit for Girls Makes an Impact!

Fit for Girls sets girls up for a successful 5K at the culmination of the 9 week program, but the benefits don’t stop there. Middle-school girls feel the benefits immediately when they return to school after an exciting race day. As they become adults, Fit for Girls’ participants go out into the world and put their skills to use in healthy and practical ways. Here’s what one girl recently had to say: "I loved Fit For Girls! I loved that it was something for us girls to join in middle school to feel more involved, appreciated, and healthy. I still find myself using the label reading tips we learned in Fit For Girls, and it was useful in a Nutrition class I took at UC Davis. Fit For Girls was beneficial for me to learn to be healthier and take care of myself more." It’s the success of young women like her that inspires us to run in support of Fit for Girls. LIVE. DREAM. MOVE.

Description

Did you know that 7 in 10 girls believe they are not good enough or do not measure up in some way? Fit for Girls empowers middle-school girls to identify their “spark” and appreciate their uniqueness. 

FIT FOR GIRLS IS ON A MISSION!

Fit for Girls exists to improve the overall health and well-being of adolescent girls by helping them prepare mentally and physically for a 5K race. Fit for Girls supports middle-school girls to build confidence and resilience, develop life skills, and experience success as they cross the first of many literal and figurative finish lines!

Fit for Girls is a FREE 9-week program for middle-school girls that meets once a week after school.  Over the course of the program, the girls progress from games to sustained running, as they learn skills that prepare them mentally and physically to run a 5K race. Your support helps the team at Fit for Girls give adolescent girls the tools they need in areas like nutrition, time management, and navigating friendships to make the most of their dreams and overcome the challenges they encounter along the way with confidence!

Your donation helps provide the Fit for Girls program to middle-school girls for free.  Fit for Girls is unique in their commitment to deliver their program to girls at no cost. 

Join us as we virtually walk/run the 2020 Urban Cow Half-Marathon, Relay & 5K  to empower real girls to set real goals while having fun and making friends!
