ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS
ADD-ON PROGRAM:
We know that an existing barrier to allowing women to be physically active is childcare. So, to ensure that all parents and guardians can participate in the Women’s Run and have their loved ones participate in the Girls Run without the fear of supervision or juggling schedules, we are launching an ADD-ON program following the Girls Run! This ADD-ON will include further connections with the REAL Role models and activities such as crafts and movement. So parents and guardians can go out and enjoy the run/walk, and we’ll be at the finish line cheering you on! Lunch is included!
