One World Running | Serving runners in need around the world since 1986

One World Running Director Ana Weir was named a 2005 Hero of Running by Runner’s World magazine. She was honored at a gala celebration on Nov. 4, two days before the ING New York City Marathon. It was a wonderful award for Ana, who puts in so much work for the project. In the photo on the right, she and World Championship 100-meter gold medalist Lauryn Williams smile for the camera. Let’s hope this is the start of a great 2006 for Ana and the shoe project, and runners around the world.

City of Boulder’s Youth Services Initiative came and sorted and boxed shoes on May 19, with 65 local local low-income teenagers receiving shoes. They and their coach, Alex Zinga, ran and walked the Memorial Day Bolder Boulder 10K. This all part of an effort to encourage youth to exercise and live a healthy lifestyle. The YSI program started seven years ago with just four participants, and continues to grow.

One World Running takes donated shoes, washes and sorts them to give to runners in need around the world
