In November this year, the Hardy Williams Students Run Philly Style team ran in their second Philadelphia Marathon weekend, and three of our 8th graders, pictured here, completed the HALF MARATHON with the support of running mentors Ms. G and Ms. Walker! To keep their momentum going, we're sponsoring and supporing their efforts in the upcoming legendary Philadelphia LOVE RUN on March 29, 2026. To make this happen, we're asking our beloved community to help us raise funds to cover their bibs, any needed gear, and the mountains of snacks they require to run their best.

Training for the half is a huge effort that the SRPS mentors take to heart. Our fearless club leader, Jaimie Walker, ran with the boys almost every weekend leading up to the November race. For the Love Run, myself and Meg Gurenlian will all be sharing weekend training duty. The care and fueling these kids is no joke, and our club funds are in the red. The three of us regularly pay out of pocket to keep them going. In the spirit of the giving season, we're seeking your support.

What your gifts will pay for:

Love Run Half Marathon registration: $119 + fees for each runner

Food & snacks: protein bars, electrolite drinks, long run fuel, meals

Transportation

Cold weather running gear

100% of money raised will go toward the Love Run and Hardy's Students Run team.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Love,

Walker, G., and Snyder
