Our Mission
RUN3rd Alliance strives to empower youth through after-school running programs that champion students to discover their grit, build meaningful relationships, and inspire healthy communities.
Our Programs
Our after-school running program is currently available in 14 schools in Mesa, Arizona and 1 school in Bentonville, Arkansas.
Our annual RUN3rd 5k is a chance to bring the community together to support our mission. It’s also a chance for the students in our after-school running programs to come together and celebrate all they have accomplished throughout the school year while raising funds for the next season.
The flagship 5k usually takes place each spring in Mesa, Arizona. Registration typically opens in the fall. Follow us on social media @run3rdalliance or join our email list (below) to receive updates on all our events and happenings!
