Lawrence Township School Foundation

Since 2008, the Lawrence Township School Foundation’s Up and Running Club along with the Geist Half Marathon have inspired over 6400 Lawrence Township student finishers to experience the benefits of goal-setting, character development, adult mentoring, and improved health through exercise. Each spring and fall, adult mentors train young runners in preparation for a 5K event.  At the end of the season, the joy of accomplishment can be witnessed as each runner crosses the finish line. 

The benefits of this program go well beyond the time spent training. Involvement in the Up and Running Clubs has resulted in improved academic performance and attendance, the development of leadership skills, and a sense of belonging. Mind and body are closely related and impact everything we do. Together when we provide opportunities like this, our children’s capabilities to learn and grow as individuals are heightened.
