Registration is now open for the fall season of Girls on the Run and Girls on Track in the Treasure Valley.

Sites begin the week of Aug. 29 and run twice a week until the end of October. Sites are located across the valley from Mountain Home to Caldwell.

Girls on the Run is an after school program for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade girls and Girls on Track is for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade girls. Both programs combine physical activity, adult mentors, and a curriculum that has been proven to improve participants’ self-esteem, body image, and healthy eating attitudes. Participants in the program run, walk, skip, hop, and “saunter” their way through games and activities, while learning about themselves, teamwork and the community. Coaches’ role is to encourage participants.

Registration fees are based on a sliding scale and start at $40. Payment plans and scholarships are available.
