Friends

Friends are essential to the success of our program. They can help out at events and races, provide transportation to and from group runs and races, manage our water stations, distribute food, and generally cheer and encourage our student runners in their efforts to succeed at running, succeed at life.

Friends might also include those runners who would like to affiliate or support a team, but feel unable to commit for a full academic year to one or several of our students.

We also welcome therapists and tutors who would like to offer counseling or academic support to some of our students in need.
