Girls on the Run program teaches self-esteem Oct 14th 2012, 11:41 Twice a week, dozens of girls can be seen scampering along the track at Harper's Choice Middle School, a workout that will ultimately lead to a 5K run. Before their often-challenging cardio exercise, they take part in brief sessions centered on building self-confidence and reinforcing social skills. The 10-week after-school program, called Girls on the Run, teaches the third- to eighth-graders self-esteem, a healthy lifestyle and social skills while they train for the Girls on the Run Fall 5K on Dec. 1 in Columbia. The Central Maryland branch of Girls on the Run, which is based in Columbia, offers programs for girls in Howard and Carroll counties. It began two years ago with about 40 girls and has since become widely popular, growing to more than 600 girls from more than 40 schools.
