Run for the Future, is a New York Road Runners (NYRR) girls’ summer running program that teaches young women the lifelong skills of running while helping them earn money to put towards college, is now accepting applications. Participants meet three times a week in July and August to train with NYRR coaches towards completing their first 5K, learn about healthy lifestyles, and participate in two community service projects that address health barriers affecting their communities. Participants who successfully complete the 8 week program are eligible for a one thousand dollar scholarship for college. All NYC girls entering their senior year at a public or parochial high school are eligible to apply. We highly encourage girls with little or no running experience to apply.
