What Students Say
“Students Run Philly Style means the world to me. It’s not just a program that coaches students through nine months of hard training to complete a 26.2 mile run, but it also comes with the benefits of friendship and dedication. When you finish the program, you don’t think about all the training, you think of the friends you made along this journey. For first time runners, don’t let this be your last time, join again to see if you can challenge yourself to beat your own times.”

Interested in becoming a MENTOR?
I Run This City mentors, also called running leaders, provide ongoing mentorship, support, & training for our students. They are truly the soul of the I Run This City program. Adults over 21 with a heart for mentorship and the ability to make a significant time commitment should consider becoming running leaders. Running experience is helpful but not required. Running leaders may start teams of their own or may join teams that need support.
