Students Run Philly Style (SRPS) is a wellness-focused organization based in Philadelphia, founded in 2004, that leverages running and mentorship to support local youth. The program operates by training students alongside volunteer mentors, with participants completing distances up to a half or full marathon, while developing discipline, goal-setting, and resilience that extend beyond running. The organization has evolved from a focus on reducing childhood obesity to serving a broader set of outcomes, including improved academics, higher graduation likelihood, greater community connectedness, and enhanced life skills for the youth it supports.
