Supporting Runners Who Need It Most

Filla Endurance is committed to providing quality coaching opportunities for athletes from underrepresented or economically disadvantaged backgrounds in distance running. We believe that a scholarship program for athletes with limited access to running can make a significant difference in their lives. Here’s an outline of our program. 

This scholarship is designed for runners who: 

  • Are 18+ 
  • Are committed to personal growth through running 
  • Would benefit from structured coaching but face financial limitations 
  • Are open to  ready to consistently communicate tion and feedback with their coach 
  • May be navigating life transitions (postpartum, career shifts, injury recovery, etc.) Have a financial need or limited access to high-quality coaching 

Note: Scholarships are limited and awarded based on merit, need, and coach availability. 

 

Communication & Accountability Expectations 

To get the most out of this opportunity, we ask all scholarship athletes to: 

  • Check in with their coach at least once per week, even if it’s just a quick update or confirmation that things are on track 
  • Communicate proactively about any challenges, missed sessions, or necessary changes to their training plan 
  • Follow the coaching plan as closely as possible, or provide clear feedback when something isn’t working 
  • Open and honest communication is essential — this allows your coach to support you effectively, adjust plans as needed, and help you stay on track toward your goals.
