Back on my Feet

Back on My Feet empowers people experiencing homelessness and addiction to transform their lives and achieve self-sufficiency through the power of running, community, and support services.

Back on My Feet has been breaking cycles of poverty and addiction across the country with the belief that long-term transformation can happen with a new approach, one that combines community and accountability to achieve economic stability. From the day members join us from a homeless shelter or rehabilitation facility to the day they graduate, the Back on My Feet community is there to offer support and resources. Our members begin their journey by committing to run 3 days a week and receive access to workshops, personalized support, and a one-on-one mentor.

It is our honor to guide and cheer our members on as they not only start their careers, but also build their credit, purchase homes, and reunite with their families.

Visit Back on My Feet’s Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run race webpage here to apply for the team.
