Changing lives.
One mile at a time.
Who We Are
Our mission is to challenge youth to experience the benefits of goal-setting, character development, adult mentoring and improved health by providing them with a truly life changing experience, the training for and completion of a half marathon.
Giving
Our program is provided at no cost to our youth runners. It is funded by private donations and our annual RTS Woolaroc 8k. Youth runners are provided everything they need, from shoes to race registration fees, to attain their goal of finishing a half marathon with RTS.
