Eight girls from Macville Public School spent 10 weeks taking the Girls on the Run program. Open to girls in Grades 3 to 5, it involved physical training and learning life skills, enabling them to gain confidence as well as athletic achievement. The final event in the program was the graduation, which included a five-kilometre run. Teacher Liz Gilchrist and parent organizer Marilyn Otten were there to send Abby, Norah, Emily, Rain, Hayley, Jayde, Kate and Rhythm out on the run.
