Tenacity’s programs are the intersection of education, fitness and youth development – helping less advantaged Boston youth build important academic, college readiness, and life skills while forming positive identities as life-long learners.

Your support through participating as a runner on the Tenacity Marathon Team or donating to one of our team runners will help transform the lives of these students, improve educational outcomes, increase graduation rates, and provide access to opportunities and experiences they might not otherwise have. 95% of Tenacity students graduate high school and more than 70% go on to complete college within six years.
