"For me I run because it’s something I can be great at if I practice a lot, and I know it’s good for my physical and mental health"
- Sammy Amador

History

Running Forward was created 6 years ago as an effort to provide running programming to the youth of Little Village. Through various discussions and activities youth are able to understand who they are. Youth are able to assess their obstacles and how to overcome them. Our hope of running in Little Village is to create a running community in the neighborhood and create a healthier lifestyle for all who join.

Mondays and Tuesdays, 5-6pm with longer hours in the summer
