Strides of Hope 2011-12 Program! Click to register!
Strides of Hope is the half-marathon, full-marathon and 10K training program organized by the Asha for Education and is one of its core fundraising avenues.
The SOH program was started in 2000 and is an innovative fundraiser that provides individuals of all ages with the opportunity to discover the great benefits of physical activities like running and biking, including but not limited to an active and healthy lifestyle. All that while helping raise funds for projects supported by Asha in India. Asha Austin started the SOH program in 2005 and over $345,000 has been raised by more than 225 runners in the span of 6 years.
Strides of Hope welcomes both experienced and novice runners to train and run a marathon, half-marathon or 10K. Each mile you run and each dollar you raise will help provide a better future for underprivileged children in India.
Runners can train locally in Austin or remotely from another city. You can also run any race of your choice. Please see our Races page for a listing of races across the country that our runners have participated in. We are also open to our runners targetting different race distances.
Runners can fundraise for the general Asha pool or choose to support one or more projects of their choice. If the latter option is chosen, the money they raise will directly go to the specified project(s).
