    About Us

    Dreamfar High School Marathon (DHSM) challenges teens to reach their full potential—physically, socially, emotionally, and academically—through a mentor-supported distance running program.

    Over the past 15 years, we’ve helped over 1000 students from 15 different high schools in the greater Boston area realize their true potential and find community through running. Each training run represents a new milestone and symbol of success. Students commit to training with mentors over the course of our season to run either the half- or full marathon at Newport in April. As students cross the finish line, they experience the impossible becoming possible and are empowered to tackle life’s next big challenge.

    DHSM is currently recruiting mentors for the 2025-2026 season. Mentors run alongside youth on Saturday mornings (November-April) offering support and encouragement through their training. You do not need to have any running experience to mentor. Mentors will receive training from a certified marathon coach, nutritionist, and physical therapist.
