Our joyful 5K day, seen from above! Watch here.

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.

Check out the recent features in MPR News, on KTTC and KTSP highlighting Girls on the Run Minnesota.
