Welcome to Girls on the Run of Central Illinois, an independent council of Girls on the Run International!

Our mission is to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. We use the power of running to provide girls with the tools to:

  • Celebrate their bodies,
  • Honor their voices,
  • Recognize their gifts and
  • Activate their personal power.

Discover the power of the Girls on the Run!
