I love Girls on the Run DC because…

- it made me go out and run!
- The girls were so much fun to get to know.
- It encourages healthy living.
- I got to meet awesome girls who inspired me in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

- I met some of the most amazing, talented, and dedicated girls who bring the largest smile to my face at every practice.
