The STRIDE program encourages boys to exhibit excellence in character in all aspects of their lives, make healthy choices, and build confidence by leading them through a curriculum that incorporates character development and training for a 5K. The STRIDE 5K Challenge is a family-friendly event that encourages those of all ages to participate. This 5K fundraiser celebrates the hard work of both STRIDE and Girls on the Run participants. Proceeds raised will help provide scholarships for STRIDE participants and the continuation of the program.
