Run Your City is committed to building an inclusive community through the sport of running. We aim to provide every child, regardless of ability, gender or socioeconomic background, the opportunity to grow into healthy, confident, and inspired individuals.
RYC provides free running programs for kids in pre-K through 6th grade. Our programs are hosted by collegiate student-athletes in 24 locations across the US (and growing rapidly), with hour-long sessions in the spring and fall focused on teaching kids healthy habits and positive values.
We also host an 8-day camp in Bugesera, Rwanda that provides nutrition, health education, sports exposure, and comprehensive youth development programming for 400+ at-risk local youth each summer.
Our organization is entirely volunteer-driven, meaning 100% of donations go directly to benefiting the kids we serve.
