Students Run LA (SRLA) is a nonprofit in the wellness and fitness services field that operates across more than 180 public schools in Greater Los Angeles and is based in Tarzana, California. The organization pairs at-risk middle and high school students with volunteer adult mentors to train for the Los Angeles Marathon, offering a structured program that emphasizes goal setting and future planning, free of charge to participants. Donors support SRLA by providing training gear, entry fees, transportation, and other resources to sustain participation.

Each year, more than 3,000 students participate, and finish rates are consistently high, with about 99% crossing the marathon finish line. The program also demonstrates educational impact, as reflected in 2017 data showing 99% of SRLA seniors graduated and 96% planned to attend college, including a sizable share of first-generation college entrants. In December 2022, SRLA partnered with Nike to distribute 3,300 shoes to SRLA leaders, illustrating ongoing collaboration to enhance access to athletic resources.
