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 in pursuit of our vision: using the power of running to bring together people from diverse backgrounds to build connections, boost wellness, spark social change, and center people traditionally excluded from running spaces.
By bringing together people from diverse backgrounds, our Resident Members and Run Mentors not only find common ground, but learn from and reach out to one another for support.

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 have the opportunity to 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.

Run For Us
