Cabin John Middle School

The Heart & Sole curriculum was developed by Girls on the Run International to meet the unique needs of middle school girls with rich themes girls can relate to, addressing the whole girl—body, brain, heart, spirit, and social connection. Heart & Sole is accessible to all girls regardless of athletic ability or fitness level.

How does it work?
Heart & Sole is a 10-week program with a small team size of 8-15 girls so that girls have an opportunity to build strong connections with one another and their coaches. The program teaches life skills such as team-building, creating a support system, boundary setting, making connections & friendships, goal setting, problem-solving, emotional regulation, standing up for themselves and others, self-care, overcoming obstacles, decision making, and asking for and providing help.

The season culminates with the Girls on the Run 5K on Sunday, November 24th at the Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. This celebratory event underscores the confidence, competence, cooperation, and character they’ve been developing in the program and gives them a tangible sense of goal setting and achievement.
