Run Gainesville
this season
Como atletas de atletismo de la Universidad de Florida, ¡estamos liderando un capítulo de carreras para niños bajo la organización nacional sin fines de lucro Run Your City! Organizamos sesiones de seguimiento gratuitas de 1 hora con juegos/actividades de campo para niños de K-8º grado. Nuestro objetivo principal es exponer a los niños a los deportes de una manera positiva, reuniendo diversión, comunidad y actividad física. Todos los niños merecen la oportunidad de crecer, aprender y liderar a través del deporte, ¡y estamos muy entusiasmados con la oportunidad de llevar Run Your City a Gainesville!

Jonathan Leon
Community Engagement / Donor & Sponsor Relations
Hi, I'm Jonathan Leon! I'm a student athlete at the University of Florida and have been running since middle school. I originally got into running because I saw my dad running when I was a kid and since then it has become a part of my everyday life. My favorite part about running is the racing, traveling, and being part of a team. When I'm not running you can usually find me studying or hanging out with friends. I'm excited to be a part of Run Your City Gainesville and help create a community where kids can find a sense of belonging through running.
what if?
…there was a future where every kid gets to play, no matter their zip code, ability level, or family's income?
A future where collegiate athletes lock arms with their communities to make team sports accessible for all.
