Young Adult / teen program

This is a developing program which is an extension of Run Club for older teens and young adults who wish to run more regularly than offered with the regular program, and/or receive specific training. In addition to the regular Run Club seasons, there may also be additional group runs, which may continue between regular seasons. More time may also be spent on strength and mobility, and training plans may be issued for the runners to follow.

We also aim to establish relationships with local runners and clubs in the Greater Boston area to develop a community of support and inclusion, and connect Verge runners with mentors and additional opportunities.

Verge Inclusive Athletics, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides inclusive running programs for youth and young adults with and without developmental challenges, all athletic abilities and goals. We are dedicated to improving the lives of participants and inspiring a love of running and lifelong fitness by helping them to expand their limits in a fun, safe, team environment with the individual support and challenge they need for success and athletic, social, and personal growth.
