Wrapping Up 2025

Celebrating 25 years in Northern Virginia

As our 25th anniversary in Northern Virginia comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the true heart of Girls on the Run: the 91,624 participants who have grown with us over the past quarter century. Thank you to our incredible community for supporting our mission every step of the way. With your continued support, we’re excited to imagine what the next 25 years will bring.

Your generosity fuels empowering lessons, supports dedicated volunteer coaches, and helps ensure that every child has the opportunity to build confidence, set bold goals, and overcome challenges one step at a time.
