Girls on the Run of Buffalo

Girls on the Run is an afterschool program for girls in 3-5th grades. Our program runs each fall and spring for 10 weeks at schools and afterschool centers. Teams meet twice a week to discuss topics and train for a 5k. Our 5k is the culminating run for all our girls, celebrating their hard work at the end of the season. We are looking for 5k volunteers as well as coaches if you can dedicated 2-4 hours a week during the season.
