At Girls on the Run Minnesota, we firmly believe that every child should have the opportunity to cultivate healthy habits and develop healthy relationships, and we’re committed to making Girls on the Run and Heart & Sole as accessible as possible. To break down cost as a barrier, our program uses a pay-what-you-can model for both general and 5K registration fees.  We also provide gear like shoes, pants, and sports hijabs to one third of program participants to ensure all girls have what they need to participate.

We are THRILLED to be launching a brand new, evolved Girls on the Run curriculum this spring!

Since 2009, our friends at YWCA Mankato have provided Girls on the Run programs to the Greater Mankato community. Over the last 14 years, more than 3,000 girls in Mankato have participated in Girls on the Run, gaining confidence, new friends, and a love of movement. We’re excited to share that in 2024, Girls on the Run programming will continue in Mankato, now as part of Girls on the Run Minnesota.

What is one thing that sets Girls on the Run apart from many other after-school programs and sports teams? Our amazing volunteer coaches! Almost 37,000 coaches volunteer to lead teams from coast to coast every year. We provide them with the materials, training, and ongoing support needed to deliver our research-based curriculum to their teams.

Tuesday, May 2nd nearly 400 guests came together at Mosaic Venue in Downtown Minneapolis to build connections, celebrate the program’s impact and raise funds that will power this important work statewide. We’re excited to share that through generous contributions of individuals, businesses and organizations, together we raised more than $145,000 to power Girls on the Run Minnesota as we work to:

-expand statewide, from Rochester to Grand Marais and every interested community in between

-keep high-quality, girl-focused programming at the forefront, updating our award-winning curriculum and deepening coach support

-double down on access and inclusion by ensuring generous financial aid, running gear, sports hijabs, and 5K transportation are available to everyone
and more
