Girls On The Run registration

Stoneridge is very pleased to be able to offer another season of Girls on the Run. 

Girls on the Run is a place where girls learn what they can. No limits. No constraints. Only opportunities to be remarkable. Twice a week for 12 weeks, your girl will learn that her worth comes from within, that healthy relationships matter and that she can have an impact on the world around her. At the end of the season, she will be emotionally and physically prepared to complete a 5K event. 

Online registration is available from January 23-February 17.  Registration and additional information: www.gotrsac.org
