Angels with Running Shoes ("AwRS") is a Non-Profit Corporation dedicated to improving the lives of others through providing individuals with an opportunity to raise money for the charity of their choice by training and participating in athletic endurance events. While there are several other fine charitable organizations that offer programs that train individuals to participate in athletic endurance events, these organizations focus solely on raising money for a specific charity. We discovered that there are many charitable organizations for which no such program exists and many individuals who would like to participate in such a program for these charities. This is the reason we created AwRS. Since its inception in early 2008, AwRS has sponsored running participants in the following events:
RUNNING:
Virginia Beach RNR Half-Marathon
Philadelphia Distance Run
San Antonio RnR Half & Full Marathon
Sarasota Grouper Half-Marathon
The Barcelona Spain Marathon
Mt. Kilimanjaro Marathon Tanzania, Africa
New York City Marathon
NJ Shore Marathon & Long Branch Half
Boston Marathon
Medoc France Marathon
Philadelphia Full & Half Marathon
Broad Street Run
Shamrock Marathon Virginia Beach VA
CYCLE:
MS 150 City to Shore Ride
The NYC 5 Boro Ride
MS PA Dutch 150 mile Ride
NJ Ride Against Aids 250 mile Ride
TRIATHLON:
Nautica NYC Triathlon

Philadelphia Insurance Triathlon
and many more!
Our goal is to provide those individuals who desire to do something for those less fortunate with an opportunity to raise money and, at the same time, have a lot of fun training and participating in endurance events with a great group of people.
