ON THE RUN – Girls, coaches and supporters in the Girls on the Run program jog through Crescent Park Saturday during a 5K run, the culminating event in the 10-week program. Dozens of girls in grades 3 to 5 took part in this year’s program, which organizers say blends physical activity with life skill development, including managing emotions, fostering friendships, and expressing empathy.
