Sports Society for American Health

Conduct sanctioned events to benefit health and education initiatives. These initiatives include transforming an area ranked the fifth fattest city in the US into what is now gaining a reputation as a running community. Our largest initiative has been our wellness programs in schools through Kids Marathon Clubs. These are free programs that not only educate children on how to be healthy but require them to exercise and develop healthy lifestyle habits. Our program also provides for low-income students to participate in the running events without cost. For the adults, our programs have transformed lives. Many have lost over 100 pounds and one couple lost 500 combined pounds which garnered them media attention.
