Who We Are

SRLA is a non-profit after school running program for middle and high school students across the greater Los Angeles area. While running is the core activity of the program, SRLA students learn to set and achieve goals, gain confidence, and develop life-long healthy habits.  SRLA provides students with the experience of being a part of a team without the pressure of having to be a “fast” runner. Our motto is “my race, my pace,” and we encourage students to find a running pace that they are physically comfortable with sustaining for a long distance. Though some students run faster than others, we all support and encourage each other on our SRLA team. We don’t consider our runs “training,” rather, we “run for fun!”

Coach Coyle and Coach Wyse started SRLA at Nobel in 2008, and Coach Fuentes and Coach Mandl joined the program in 2015.  This year will mark our 16th year as a team.  We have been so successful for one reason: support from our school and community. We have so many awesome staff, parents, and family members who dedicate countless hours to ensure our team is successful on marathon day. Here are a few of those dedicated individuals that you may see during practices and runs.
