Help Us Give Every Kid Their First Opportunity to Run :)

Run Your City – Villanova is part of a national nonprofit movement working to ensure that every child has the opportunity to experience the joy of sports—regardless of their background or financial circumstances.

As Villanova student-athletes, we volunteer our time to coach and mentor local K–8 students through a completely free, six-week running program focused on fun, confidence, and community. Our mission is about much more than running. Every practice is designed to help children belong, move, and grow—building self-confidence, forming friendships, and discovering what they're capable of both on and off the course.

Your donation helps us provide everything our young runners need for a successful season, specifically insurance. Additionally, donations help cover program equipment, snacks, water, games, race-day supplies, medals, and other essential resources that make the experience memorable and accessible for every child.

Every dollar brings us one step closer to creating a community where every kid has the chance to feel supported, encouraged, and proud of what they can accomplish.

Thank you for helping us inspire the next generation of runners and leaders. Together, we can ensure every child gets their first opportunity to cross a finish line!!!
