We run together to transform ourselves, one another, and our community.
Mile in My Shoes’ teams of Resident Members (people transitioning from homelessness, incarceration, substance-use recovery, and military service) and volunteer Run Mentors run thousands of miles side by side, completing races from one mile to a marathon. We run in pursuit of our vision: to connect communities to heal past wounds, break generational cycles, disrupt oppressive systems, and contribute to a more caring, just, and equitable world.

Run With Us
Run Mentors are runners of all abilities, speeds, and motivations with one thing in common - the desire to spread the transformative power of running. Run Mentors motivate and support new runners by committing to showing up to their team one day of the week for the duration of one four-month cycle.
