“The finish line is just the beginning.”
This is the motto of Girls on the Run, a nonprofit dedicated to helping girls realize their potential and pursue their dreams through a fun, experience-based curriculum that uses running as a means of empowerment.
This Saturday, Girls on the Run will host a 5K at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center. The 3.1-mile race invites women, men and children of all ages to participate.
