Why is Friendship Miles a non-profit, and how do we make this happen?
We believe running is more than just miles—it’s a lifeline. As a non-profit, we exist to ensure every runner belongs, no matter their pace, experience, or background. We do this by providing free community meetups, low-to-no cost coaching resources, inclusive educational programming, plus mental health and financial wellness resources.
But we can’t do it alone! By showing up to our runs, supporting our local coffee shop partner, and purchasing our collaborative pieces—Friendship Miles chocolate bars, merch, coffee beans, LMNT, and more—you help fuel our mission and keep this community strong. Every sip, every bite, and every mile makes an impact.
💙Want to help even more?
As a non-profit, we are always looking for resources and support. If you feel connected to our mission, reach out to get involved, volunteer, share resources, or find other ways to support.
Join us, grab a coffee, and let’s run and walk together. 🏃‍♂️☕✨
