Supported by a $10 million commitment over the next five years, Brooks Future Run is helping running programs and teams across the U.S. through school team grants, community sponsorships, and investments in coaches and mentors to make sure young people who want to run have the chance to fulfill that meaningful goal.
Brooks Future Run sets up youth runners for success.
When young people enter the running community, good things happen. Studies have shown that involvement in sports, including running, at an early age promises lifelong benefits for young people in their mental health, leadership skills, and self-expression.
Through our Brooks Future Run program, we chatted with several high school athletes in Seattle, WA to get a pulse on what drives youth runners. These student athletes shared how they got started in the sport, what inspires them, and what it means to be on a team.

I think I fell in love with this sport because it’s a safe microcosm for competition. It’s a challenging space without real life consequences.”
“I just wanted to leave my house because my parents were pretty strict.”
“I wanted a sport that was focused on individual work but had a team aspect.”

All of my teammates are inspiring. I really love doing this with my friends.”
“Once I started running, there was a senior on the team. He was one of the first people I ran with, and he saw more strength in me than I saw in myself.”
“My teammate Max. He’s definitely the fastest person on the team, and he pushes me to be faster, to be my best self.”

There are so many influences. I’m running my own races, but to be able to fall back on my teammates, not just when I’m struggling, but when I’m doing well, too, it’s the best.”
“It’s special that you can focus on your own personal results, but you have this group of people around you to support you.”
“One of the best parts about being on a team is definitely the huge pasta dinners.”
