Girls from Blades, Forder, Oakville, Point and Wohlwend Elementary Schools raced in the annual Girls on the Run 5K Saturday in downtown St. Louis.

The organization promotes fitness and self-esteem and is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Girls in elementary school trained twice a week for 10 weeks for the 5K. 

This year, the race's theme was "Be your own superhero."

And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand. May God be with you and bless you; May you see your children's children.
