If you have already completed this training, you do not need to repeat it.

All 2026 Run Mentors (returning and new) are required to attend an in-person Season Kick-off Training which will include time to connect with their teams, learn team/facility-specific content, and skills-specific workshops.

Beyond Run Teams

Run Mentors are expected to participate in races, social events or advocacy events each season and communicate in advance if they are able to attend. Knowing that, please share your interests and availability in this section.

FundRacing means running a race while raising crucial funding for Mile in My Shoes programs. While FundRacing is not required for Run Mentors, it is critical to the continuation of MiMS programming. By becoming a FundRacer, you get a free race entry & lots of great swag while also supporting your MiMS teammates. There are many options for FundRacing in one of our official charity partner races or in ANY race you choose to do during the year.
