Your Investment in FOS Supports

Youth Fitness and Self-Esteem

More than 1,000 youth run with FOS each year, at 28 sites across the region. Our teams are a welcoming, supportive environment for youth of all abilities and backgrounds to get outside, be active and support one another.

Resilience in and out of the Classroom

Eighty percent of FOS coaches are educators. Our ratio of one coach for every seven runners builds teacher-student connections and supports the growth of the whole student.

Community Philanthropy

Our community engagement initiatives have raised more than $206,000 for fellow Upper Valley non-profits.

  • "We put on a one-mile run and the whole school came together to cheer on our team. What a sense of pride and confidence that encouraged! One third grade boy ran up to me as he finished the first mile that he ever accomplished. His face was flushed and he had a great big smile on his sweaty face. He stopped, raised his arms and yelled, 'That is the best thing I ever did!'"

  • "It is such a pleasure and joy to see the growth our runners have each and every season. They push themselves and take risks and hopefully that translates into the classroom."

    –Coach

  • "When our daughter would come home each afternoon she would glow with excitement about her achievements that day."

    –Parent

  • "Everyone who joined our team, whether it was for the 1st time or a returning team member, they all left the program as part of the FOS family."

    –Coach

  • "I saw my son’s confidence grow exponentially."

    –Parent

  • “Finding Our Stride is much more than a running program. It allows students to feel connected, be physically active and create friendships. It gives students a safe place to have fun with peers that is not technology-related. It teaches students how running can be a great form of self-care and stress relief, not only now but in the future.”
