Students Run LA
Students Run LA is a non-profit organization that provides a free school-based mentoring and physical fitness program for middle and high school students in the Greater Los Angeles area. They train students to run the Los Angeles Marathon.
To participate, join the Palms Run Club.
Do Students Really Run a Marathon?
Yes they do!
Students begin in September with a 5K run (3.1 miles) and train with their coaches and fellow student runners every week to get in shape and build up the strength and endurance they need as long-distance runners.
This training includes after school runs, weekend long-runs, as well as building the confidence to take on a mentally difficult task.
We have 10 spots reserved for the marathon, but any number of students can join our practices, whether or not they are on the marathon roster.
