Mission

To transform lives through mentoring and long distance running.

What We Do

Students Run Philly Style (SRPS) pairs students, in grades 6-12, with adult, volunteer Mentors to prepare them to train for the ultimate challenge - completing a long-distance race. SRPS youth and Mentors train side by side, 3 times per week, to reach their milestone goal. This shared challenge is transformative, helping students build confidence, connect with their community and establish healthy habits for the long term. SRPS is free to all enrolled.

Through mentoring, running and goal setting, SRPS provides youth with safe, accessible physical activity, the chance to build positive relationships and the opportunities to set and reach long-term goals.

Our organization is a part of GSK Impact Awards US.
