Students Run LA wants our students, families, and school communities to know we see you, we support you, and we are here for you.
SRLA exists to empower students through goal setting, mentorship, and community. That foundation doesn't change, even when the world feels uncertain. We remain committed to providing safe spaces for our runners to grow, connect, and thrive.
Together, we run forward.
LA Marathon 2026 ✔️
This past weekend, thousands of SRLA students stepped onto the starting line of the @lamarathon knowing it would be a tough day.
Temperatures climbed into the upper 80s, pushing runners to their limits. But mile by mile, these students kept moving forward. Through the heat. Through the fatigue. Through the moments when quitting would have been easier.
And one by one, they crossed the finish line.
With tears. With smiles. With arms raised high. But most importantly, they crossed that finish line together. 💚
Because finishing a marathon isn’t just about 26.2 miles.
It’s about months of training, encouragement from leaders, belief that you can do something incredibly hard, and doing it all with a community that believes in YOU.
We are endlessly proud of every SRLA runner who showed up, stayed strong, and finished what they started. 🔥
If these students inspire you, our Marathon Match campaign is happening now. Your gift helps thousands of young people across Los Angeles train for the marathon and discover what they’re capable of.

And they’re off! Today, more than 3,000 SRLA runners take their first steps toward the finish line of the @lamarathon . Send them words of motivation in the comments below.

Advice for first-time runners, straight from the students who are living it. 👟💚
At Students Run LA, running is about so much more than crossing a finish line. It’s about learning how to start something new, how to stick with it when it gets hard, and how to lean on your community when motivation fades.
Whether our students are training for their first 5K race, building toward a 10K, or preparing for the Los Angeles Marathon, the lessons are the same: progress happens at your own pace, consistency matters more than speed, and running with others makes the journey stronger. 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Through marathon training, weekly practices, and race days, students discover confidence, resilience, and the belief that they can do hard things, on the course and in life. This is the heart of running content we love to share: real voices, real growth, and real community.
Going the distance, together. 🤝✨
