Let Me Run

Let Me Run is a nonprofit wellness program that inspires boys to be themselves, be active, and belong. With a comprehensive curriculum that applies the power of running, the program encourages boys to develop their psychological, emotional and social health, in addition to their physical health. 

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 season culminates in a 5k race festival that celebrates the boys’ personal growth.

Volunteer with Let Me Run

WISH is always looking for volunteers interested in coaching Let Me Run. We host a season every spring. Coaches do not need to be strong runners, they just need to come with a positive and encouraging attitude.
