Girls On The Run
Spring 5K

Ballpark Village is proud to partner with Girls On The Run and host their annual Celebratory Spring 5K on Saturday, May 10th!

With a mission to inspire girls of all abilities to believe in themselves and their community, trained volunteer coaches use an evidence-based curriculum with physical activity and dynamic discussions to build social, emotional and physical skills while encouraging healthy habits for life. The Spring Season Celebratory 5K is the final goal of the spring program season for the participants to compete together, to achieve a tangible sense of accomplishment and set their confident mindsets in motion.

About Girls On The Run:

Girls on the Run St. Louis is a life-changing, non-profit program for girls in 3rd through 8th grades, a critical time in girls’ self-development. We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. Girls are empowered with positive self- awareness and increased confidence, a sense of achievement by training for and completing a 5k and giving back to their community through a service project each season. Girls experience confidence through accomplishment becoming girls who can.
