Building young girls self-esteem in Palm Beach County

Have you heard about Girls on the Run Palm Beach County? The innovative program provides girls, from third through eighth grade, with character development lessons while training them to run a 5K.

The secret, Director Lynn Martin, says is to keep the running fun so that the girls don't even know they are in training.

The county council, part of a national program with over 200 local affiliates, operates out of at least 12 public schools and four community centers in Palm Beach County.
