Komlosy is program director of Girls on the Run – DC, an after-school program that helps girls run their first 5k race while promoting self-esteem and healthy living. The 12-week program is still seeking volunteer coaches and running buddies for the 70 teams across the city. For more information, visit gotrdc.org. How did the program start?
The program was founded in 1996 by Molly Barker. She was an Ironman triathlete herself and she was facing some challenges in her life. Running became a tool for her to achieve her own goals. What she wanted to do was help girls discover the confidence they needed to do what they wanted and beyond.
