Dreamfar High School Marathon is a wellness and fitness program that uses marathon training as an experiential learning platform for high school students. Based in Natick, Massachusetts, it invites students of varied abilities and backgrounds to set a long-term goal and complete a marathon, turning running into an educational journey. Since its launch in 2008, the program has supported more than 500 students from 15 high schools in Boston and the surrounding area to finish a race, and it is the only high school marathon program in New England. A broad network of volunteers supports the program, including hundreds of adults who mentor students and more than 30 teachers who contribute to guidance. The initiative operates with a small organizational footprint, serving high schools in Boston and nearby communities within New England from its base in Natick.
