Girls on the Run Lehigh Valley & Pocono (GOTRLVP) is excited to announce the launch of its after-school program in Luzerne County, hosted at the Wilkes-Barre YMCA this spring.

Open to girls in 3rd through 5th grade, the program will take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4:00–5:15 PM, beginning the week of April 20 for 8 weeks. The cost is $15 for YMCA members and $25 for non-members. Registration is open now and will close on Friday, April 17. Families can register at www.gotrlehighpocono.org.

Girls on the Run is a research-based program that combines physical activity with life skills development to inspire participants to be joyful, healthy, and confident. Over the course of the season, girls build friendships, strengthen their confidence, and learn important lessons about teamwork, goal setting, and resilience.

The season will culminate in a celebratory, non-competitive 5K event on June 6 at PNC Field. Each participant will complete the 5K alongside a designated adult "5K Buddy,” reinforcing a sense of accomplishment and community support.
