Do you want to inspire students to reach their goals this season?

More than 2,800 middle and high school students in Students Run LA (SRLA) are training alongside their teachers to complete the Los Angeles Marathon in March 2023.

SRLA students are currently in the midst of long marathon training miles and could use a little motivation… that’s where YOU come in!

We are asking supporters to write “Motivational Valentines” to SRLA students, encouraging them to keep moving forward towards the marathon finish line in March as well as the graduation stage in May.

These personal notes mean so much to our students. You can inspire and motivate a student to help them achieve their marathon dreams.

Here’s how to send your Motivational Valentine:

1. Write 1 (or more!) card or letter to a Students Run LA student encouraging them to keep on running! Please do not address these to a certain individual, they will be passed out randomly to students. Here is an example of what your Motivational Valentine might say:

Hi SRLA Runner,

Great job sticking to your training and staying committed during this tough season. You are awesome! Good luck at the marathon. Remember, if you put your mind to it you can do anything!

Keep it Up,
Joe


2. Address your card or letter to the SRLA office:

Students Run LA
5252 Crebs Ave
Tarzana, CA 91356

Mail your letter so it reaches the SRLA Office before February 27th, 2023***

3. Share your process on social media with the hashtag #SRLALOVE and remember to tag @StudentsRunLA

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Christine at christine@srla.org

Students Run LA can't wait to receive & distribute your Motivational Valentines!

*** * If you are mailing cards in a bundle you do NOT need a stamp for each card (just postage for the whole box).
