Serving 1,500 youth annually, the Students Run Philly Style mentoring models pairs youth ages 12-18 with volunteer mentors. Together, youth and volunteers train alongside each other as they prepare for a full or half marathon.Since 2004 Students Run Philly Style has created a movement of healthy young people in Philadelphia--a movement that has touched multiple generations of families and impacted the lives of its participants.
At 60, I embarked on my running journey with my first 5k, and now, 11 years later, I continue to hit the pavement. Over the years, I've participated in the Ocean City Half Marathon several times. I'm especially excited to take on my first 10-mile run in Philadelphia. Joining me is my daughter, who will be running the Broad Street run, marking her first race beyond a 5k!
