Girls on the Run Around the Towne
This fall, 3rd-6th grade girls at London Towne were invited to be part of a Girls on the Run team! Girls practiced twice weekly throughout the fall to build their strength and stamina. This past weekend, the team completed a 5K run with their buddy runners. Check out the story of their season!
Our Girls on the Run team is a group of 3rd-6th grade girls who meet twice a week after school throughout the fall.
The Girls on the Run curriculum combines lessons with social-emotional topics and movement workouts.
The team members used the twice-weekly practices to train for a 5K run.
Each practice ends with a positivity cheer!

Some families made it a full family event! We even had an LTES alum join us and lend her high school cross country expertise!
