Expanding limits and inspiring lifelong fitness through the sport of running

Team Verge is an inclusive family friendly running club for kids and young adults with and without social, emotional, learning, behavioral challenges. We’ve been running since 2015.

Each season we have 70 runners, plus 60 student volunteers who come out as run buddies/peer coaches. Many athletes and volunteers return year after year. More want to join, but these numbers are currently capped because we don't have enough help. Your support will help us give the gift of running to more.

We are like other running programs, but we have a culture and way of operating that removes the barriers to participation for many of these runners that are often found in mainstream programs, giving them the opportunity to participate and the ability to achieve and grow. As growth and achievements happen the athletes, parents, and volunteers realize what is possible in themselves and each other and find joy in the process and result.

Team Verge runners are all abilities ages 7+, and run the track, trail, track meets, XC races, road races, join school teams, develop healthy fitness habits and a love of running, confidence, friendships, new skills, better body awareness, and learn that hard work can be fun!  We develop some kids to join their school and mainstream teams, and others come for the fun, fitness and social connection.

As a community, we reveal our value as humans, the joy and necessity of connection, and the importance of equal challenge and support for all.

Our aim is to continue developing our programs, opportunities, and relationships in our communities that further our impact and mission of Expanding Limits and Inspiring Lifelong Fitness through the Sport of Running. We're improving lives and contributing to a more inclusive culture.

There is a power and magic in running that is so beneficial to these kids physically, socially, mentally, just like any other runner, and it is life changing and can be lifelong. We hope you will join us with your support to continue give these kids and more the awesomeness of running and a healthier, fuller life.

Thank you!!
