Let Me Run

Let Me Run is a nonprofit wellness program that inspires boys to be themselves, be active, and belong. Let Me Run surpasses the traditional concept of a mere running program for boys; it is a unique experience designed to shape not just their physical abilities but also their character and interpersonal skills. Beyond the track, our dedicated coaches are adept at merging physical exercise with engaging activities and valuable lessons. Through a carefully crafted curriculum, boys not only enhance their running ability but also embark on a transformative journey that fosters teamwork, cultivates relationship skills, and forges lasting friendships. Designed for boys from 3rd through 8th grade, Let Me Run instills a sense of empowerment, encouraging boys to not only believe in themselves but also inspire others.

Twice a week for seven weeks, two trained volunteer coaches lead an elementary or middle school team through practice. Designed to amplify confidence, self-expression, and respect for others, each practice includes a lesson from the Let Me Run curriculum that incorporates running, games and activities. Each fall and spring season culminates in a 5k race festival that celebrates the boys’ personal growth.

By celebrating every facet of what it truly means to be a boy, we create an inclusive space that nurtures their unique qualities and perspectives.
