Background/Mission
Global Running Culture is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to promote youth fitness, nutrition and health through participation in sport. We have designed the Santa Fe to Buffalo Thunder Half Marathon as a destination event to be the primary source of income to support our programs. We also organize the Butterfly Run (on Father's Day) and the Pojoaque Valley Kids' Triathlon (August 11), both taking place within the Pojoaque Pueblo.
With the support of Whole Foods, Nike N7 and US Bank, Global Running Culture carries out activity and nutrition programs at the Santa Fe and Pojoaque Boys & Girls Clubs. The programs provide opportunity for kids ages 8-18 to run with world class Kenyan athletes, learn about the importance of good nutrition and receive healthy food donated by Whole Foods. Also, participants have the opportunity to earn gear, entry to Global Running events and a Presidential Physical Fitness Award.
Your participation will help us expand our programs and provide more kids with the opportunity to improve their lives through activity and good nutrition.
