Mission Statement
Stride for Stride is a non-profit running organization that buys race bibs for immigrant, BIPOC, and low-income runners - our goal is to make races more accessible and more diverse.
​
Stride for Stride has always been more than just running. Crossing the finish line gives people hope, empowerment, a sense of belonging, and pure joy. Stride for Stride is a welcoming community for immigrants to feel safe and accepted with other individuals going through the same challenges and struggles. And, now Stride for Stride gives our team the mental health support they need, if and when they need it.

History
Stride for Stride launched in November 2018 and since then we’ve grown to a team of 541 runners from 27 different countries. We believe there's no reason why money should prevent you from getting to the starting line, especially when crossing the finish line could change your life. The list of countries, including most Central and South American countries, can be found at: StrideForStride.com
​
Since our founding we've spent $287,000 on race bibs. For the most up-to-date stats please visit our team and calendar page at: https://www.strideforstride.net/team

Mental Heath in Stride
In 2025, Stride for Stride launched Mental Health in Stride to provide free mental health therapy to anyone on the team who needs it. Mental health has always been a major health issue for our team and 2025-2026 has been extremely stressful for our team of immigrant runners. Today, over 30 team members receive free mental health therapy via Stride for Stride.
