“Girls on Track” is a program for middle school girls. The Girls on Track program is a subsidiary of the Girls on the Run organization. The Girls on Track program combines an interactive curriculum and running to inspire self-respect and healthy lifestyles in pre-teen girls. The curriculum addresses many aspects of a girl's development - their physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being. The objective of this program is to educate and empower girls at an early age in order to prevent the display of at-risk activities in the future. At-risk activities include substance/alcohol use, eating disorders, early onset of sexual activity, sedentary lifestyle, depression, and suicide attempts.
