Three ways to join the run

what parents say

Why your gift matters

What an amazing offering it is for our community and kids. The leaders are so wonderful and genuinely made my son feel comfortable and seen. They stepped right in when he needed a buddy and some encouragement. Loved that he got to be exposed to something new in a low-pressure environment.

Not only did my kids enjoy the season, they were motivated and encouraged to run more. Katie loved your competitive spirit. After practice yesterday she came home saying she wants to run track at USC one day. I know you played a big role in that drive.

A Run Your City Parent

Run Your City made kids aware of the ways they can stay healthy and fit in a fun way. It exposed them to challenges they wouldn't have otherwise had, and now they're thinking about joining their school's track team next year because of it.

The program was a great experience for all my kids. It helped them see student-athletes close in age to them who excel in academics and sports. They saw how they can try new sports and excel, and met other children in town outside their normal circle.

My child really enjoyed racing and playing games, building positive relationships, and having food to fill his tummy after burning off lots of energy. He was so surprised to receive a medal. It made him feel so very special. Thank you!

Coach, you have sparked something in my daughter that my husband and I have been trying to for years. If you ever wonder if you are really making a difference, remember her. She would probably run a 5k for you and not stop. Thank you so much.
