You’re invited to join us on Sunday, April 16 at Wild Heaven—West End from 12 to 3 pm for an afternoon of family fun, presented by our Young Professionals Board (YPB). 

RAMADAN MUBARAK! Did you know that this year, Ramadan (the Muslim holy month of fasting) begins on Wednesday, March 22 and will end on Friday, April 21? While many younger participants may not be fasting yet, throughout Ramadan our Muslim coaches, older participants and adult family members may be fasting, which includes abstaining from water, from sunrise to sunset. 

Girls on the Run will host its spring Girls on the Run 5K on Saturday, April 29 at Center Parc Stadium (formerly Georgia State Stadium) in downtown Atlanta

The start of the 2023 Girls on the Run (grades 3-5) and Heart & Sole (grades 6-8) spring season is almost here with practices beginning the week of February 6. Girls on the Run and Heart & Sole programs will be offered at more than 100 locations throughout greater Atlanta, Athens, North Georgia and Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) this spring.

Today marks the last day at Girls on the Run Georgia (formerly Girls on the Run of Atlanta) for our colleague and friend, Tanya Frazee. While we are sad to see her go, we’re so proud of her accomplishments and excited for her new role with Girls on the Run International!

Girls on the Run is in need of more than 100 volunteer community coaches to help lead teams of participants this spring. Volunteer coaches may be teachers, caregivers of participants in the program or members of the community who have a desire to help girls learn, grow and have fun.

We recognize that serving as a volunteer coach at Girls on the Run requires a huge commitment, which is why we wanted to give a WOW Energy Award to some very special Girls on the Run coaches who celebrated 15 and 10 seasons of coaching this fall. 

Leaving a legacy gift like Becky Levy benfits girls, families and communities to come.

Welcome to our newest members of the Girls on the Run Young Professionals Board (YPB) – Alli Barfield, Grace Green, Kate Middleton, Sally Rives and Jodie Middleton!
