Become a Running Leader!

 “When I started as a leader with Students Run, I realized that the kids were going to get a lot out of it.  What I didn’t realize was how much I was going to grow from running with these kids.” 

Stephanie Janicki, Running Leader from Our Mother of Sorrows School

Being a running leader with Students Run Philly Style is a unique and rewarding experience.  Our running leaders are true mentors who take novice student runners and inspire them to “go farther” as athletes, students and community members.  The results are amazing.

Specifically, running leaders:

• train with students 3-4 days a week
• supervise runners at weekly practices
• attend monthly meetings
• coordinate race registrations and paperwork for team members. 

The Students Run model encourages every team to have multiple running leaders who support each other by splitting up paperwork and practice responsibilities.

You do not have to be an experienced runner to be a running leader with us!! Students Run Philly Style provides extensive training and support for our running leaders.  As a running leader  you are eligible for:

• coverage for race registrations
• lunches at races
• transportation to and from races
• running shoes
• program T-shirt
• running jacket

 
To become a running leader, you must attend a leader's training event held at the beginning of the season, and fill out the following forms:

Leader Enrollment Packet 2010
Child Abuse Clearance Form*
Criminal Clearance*

(*You do not have to include the $10.00 fee for these forms, that fee is covered by Students Run Philly Style.  However, make sure to send them to the Students Run office for processing.)

Students Run Philly Style WILL NOT be accepting new teams for the upcoming 2011 season, but those interested in becoming a running leader can request to be added to the waiting list to join an existing team. If you’d like to be added to our waiting list, or receive priority status for information next year, please email us at studentsrun@nncc.us. Thank you!
