ABOUT US
Leadways Run Club was founded by high school students in the Bay Area. Our mission is to foster physical fitness, promote mental well-being, and build a supportive community among high school students. We envision a healthier, happier, and more connected generation, where the habits of physical and mental health developed through running are carried into adulthood.
We realized that many students, especially in the Bay Area, stopped focusing on their personal fitness due to academic and extracurricular stress. Leadways Run Club aims to promote fitness in a fun, relaxed manner. We want to train students to run without injury and instill values and habits of physical fitness that can last for a lifetime.

Though I’m new to running, it constantly became my moment of freedom after my first try. I usually run after school for enjoyment, or whenever I feel overwhelmed, allowing stress to melt away with every step.
