Students Run Philly Style is a unique mentorship program that uses a simple approach to fostering resilience in Philadelphia youth: a pair of sneakers and a caring adult. Students are challenged with a seemingly insurmountable goal of running a marathon, and supported with a community of caring adults to share the journey. The result is a young person who knows through experience that anything in life is possible. Each year, Students Run Philly Style serves over 1,200 Philadelphia youth.
Philly Run Fest and Philadelphia Runner have supported Students Run Philly Style for over 10 years simply because the program works. A portion of the profits from Philly Run Fest will be donated to Students Run Philly Style, please consider an additional donation today. Every donations enables a Students Run Philly Style student to go farther!
