Each season Girls on the Run of the Greater Chesapeake has a dynamic group of coaches who volunteer their time to inspire joyful, healthy, and confident girls. Coaches do not need to be runners; they just need to be individuals who want to be a positive influence and who are committed to developing and celebrating our youth.
