About STRIVERS
Running Club for Girls
Founded by runner Colleen Phelps, STRIVERS works with middle school girls to help build self-esteem, self-confidence, and awareness of a healthy lifestyle- all through a central theme of running. STRIVERS incorporates such activities as diet and nutrition seminars, cross training, book clubs and community service into a well-rounded program to help young girls reach their personal goals with strength, determination and enthusiasm. STRIVERS also attracts renowned motivational speakers, including Joan Benoit Samuelson, Uta Pippig, Travis Roy, Dara Torres, and World Marathon Challenge Winner and Belmont resident Becca Pizzi. The presentations are designed to help the girls become the best that they can be as they mature into young women. To date, over 450 girls have participated in STRIVERS and 100% of these young runners have successfully completed a 5K road race that marks the end of each session. As part of their community service efforts, STRIVERS has raised over $70,000 for local charities and has donated countless hours to local non-profit organizations. www.striversrunningclub.com
