Molly Barker, MSW and four-time Hawaii Ironman triathlete, founded Girls on the Run®, an innovative experiential program that combines training for a 5k event with life-changing, confidence building lessons that enhance the physical and mental health of 8 – 12 year old girls. In 1996, Girls on the Run began as a group of 13 girls in Charlotte, North Carolina. Today, it's offered in over 150 cities across North America and hundreds of thousands of girl's and women’s lives have been changed by the program. Molly is passionate about her work but is most inspired by her two children.
