Girls on the Run
Nia Crawford, age 9, pours water on her face to cool down between laps at Blackwell Elementary. Girls on the Run was first created 12 years ago in Charlotte by Molly Barker, a former Ironman triathlete. The program culminates on Nov. 16 with the girls running in a 5K race at the Arizona Avenue Youth Soccer Complex. PHIL SKINNER / pskinner@ajc.com
