The focus of Run L is building community. That means no one ever runs alone on our runs. Our group runs are no-drop, and our Saturday runs on the track are interval focused, allowing everyone to go at their own pace while staying a part of the group. NO running experience is necessary to join!
Regular exercise has been proven to reduce student stress, boost student wellbeing, and combat anxiety and depression. By organizing weekly group runs, Run L provides students with a way to structure fitness into their routines and promote healthy habits.
Run L provides an excellent outlet for YLS students to meet one another. Just this year, our regular workouts spawned close friendships both within and across class years. First-year Run L members have also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to meet older students, who provide mentorship in a more informal context.
Run L enables all students, regardless of fitness background or financial circumstances, to enjoy the benefits of regular fitness. This semester, we are hoping to make running more inclusive by subsidizing registration fees and other costs of entering races.
