Founded in 2018 in Charlottesville, Virginia, Run Your City is committed to building an inclusive community through the sport of running. The program aims to provide every child, regardless of ability, gender, or socioeconomic background, the opportunity to grow into healthy, confident, and inspired individuals. By integrating collegiate students/athletes and local communities, we hope to make sports accessible for all children.

We are starting a Run Your City chapter in New Haven this spring. Every week, we will hold practice and races for local New Haven kids. These sessions will be spaces for community to gather and to pass on the joy of running to these students.

The funds will go towards supplies that we will be able to reuse in the coming years, T-shirts for the kids, and snacks.
