BstrongBfit

BstrongBfit is an eight-week program for 4th – 6th grade girls designed to promote health and wellness through running with an emphasis on self-esteem.

Interested schools attend coach’s training and Healthy Kids Club supplies all of the curriculum and materials. The program culminates with a free two-mile run.

Each year up to 20 schools host BstrongBfit programs.

Feedback from coaches

  • I love how this program helps some of our more timid girls come to light. Seeing them form new friendships and building a sisterhood among themselves. (Coach P.)
  • The race was an impactful day! 2 of our parents signed up for the summer program and the girls absolutely loved it. Since the event, the girls have been talking about it at school and the positive culture it has created goes beyond the actual program. (Coach K.)
  • We had more girls sign up than we could take! There is a definite want and need at our school for this program. Our girls were so enthusiastic and love to run. (Coach S.)
