Jeanice Lee talks with Gabby Arvizu, President and CEO of Students Run LA, serving the greater Los Angeles region, providing marathon‑training–based youth development to middle and high school students in underserved communities. Arvizu discusses the program’s training model, volunteer teacher‑coaches, and monthly milestone races leading to the LA Marathon. Arvizu also shares how long‑distance training builds confidence, academic success, and belonging. She shares a story of a student who lost everything in the Eaton fire—yet finished the marathon alongside his mother which highlights SRLA’s impact. (SRLA.org)
