Melpomene (mel POM uh nee) was a spirited Greek woman who ran the men-only 1896 Olympic Marathon even after she was told that women could not enter the race.  Today Melpomene Institute, located in St. Paul, Minnesota, uses that same spirit to motivate girls and women of all ages to be physically active throughout their whole life.  Since 1990, Melpomene has focused its energy on being a unique resource for young girls and adolescents on issues such as self esteem, body image, nutrition, and more.
