‍Help Harte Prep’s Student Runners Reach the Finish Line!

At Harte Prep Middle School, our students are training to take on an incredible challenge: completing the 2026 Los Angeles Marathon as part of Students Run LA (SRLA)

This will be Harte Prep’s 4th cohort of dedicated middle school runners, and their goal is nothing short of extraordinary.

Many of our students have never imagined themselves running 26.2 miles — but through months of training (August to March), early morning Sunday runs, and the support of their families, coaches and peers, our students are  learning that discipline, teamwork, and self-belief can take them farther than they ever thought possible.

Our team needs supplemental Funds in order to pay for the following:

Race Fees – This year we’re covering the costs for official races for one of our student runners who does not have an official SRLA spot due to limited slots. Donate to pay for Chance’s 10k, 15k, two 1/2 marathons and an 18 mile race! this will cost will be approximately 300-400 dollars.

Healthy Snacks & Hydration – Fueling our runners during months of training. This includes the winter break lunch at coach Q’s house and our pasta loading lunch the day before marathon day that will run upwards of 500 dollars! Another 500 will go towards monthly Costco runs between September to March.

Team Shirts – this year we want to customize some SRLA/Harte Prep shirts Celebrating their incredible achievement and school pride!

Through SRLA, students build lifelong skills — goal setting, resilience, time management, and confidence. They not only finish a marathon but also discover what it means to finish strong in life.

Cheer them on, share our story, and help us reach our fundraising goal!

Thank you for believing in our runners and in the power of perseverance!
