Students Off And Running (SOAR) - offers high school students in the Santa Clarita Valley a fully supported marathon training program at no cost. Through running, training and mentorship, SOAR aims to build life skills, healthy habits, and self-confidence in participants. The program encourages perseverance and teamwork in a non-competitive environment, giving students the opportunity to complete the ASICS Los Angeles Marathon alongside adult volunteer coaches.
When students have conflicts the training must still happen. Today was our first make up session. Great job to these students that showed us commitment and accountability to get these miles done at sunrise on a Sunday. Thank you to our coaches (like Coach Julie and Coach T) who volunteered their time to support these students this morning.
Our volunteer coaches not only give their time, energy and encouragement...they also raise funds so this program can remain at ZERO cost to the students. If you believe this is a great program, please consider donating to a coach. Most coaches list their donation link in their bio/profile. We thank you in advance for your support! 🫶💜
