Girls on the Run Builds Lasting Confidence | Virginia Beach News

Girls on the Run proves its lasting impact: a national study shows participants carry confidence, social skills, and emotional tools into middle school and beyond. Since 1996, this nonprofit has empowered nearly 3 million girls nationwide, with local Hampton Roads chapter serving over 26,000 since 2006. Designed for ages 8–14, the program blends running with life skills training to build resilience, self-esteem, and healthy coping mechanisms — culminating in a celebratory 5K. As fall sessions begin Sept 15, they’re calling for girls and volunteer coaches to join in-person, community-driven empowerment that’s vital in our digital age.
