Our mission: Running 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.
