About Back on My Feet

Back on My Feet is a national nonprofit that uses the power of running and community to help people experiencing homelessness and addiction transform their lives. Operating across 14 markets, we meet members where they are — before sunrise, on the road, in community — and challenge them to do something hard together. That challenge is where transformation begins. Since our founding, we have believed that when you change how someone sees themselves, you change what they believe is possible. Running is how we start. The rest follows. 

Our Strategic Anchors

Everything we do is guided by four anchors. They are not aspirational — they are operational. 

• We Drive Real Impact — We measure success by transformation, not activity. We create real, measurable change that wouldn’t happen without us. 

• Running Is Our Foundation — Running is not a feature of our program. It is the mechanism through which transformation begins. The challenge itself is part of the change. 

• We Build Local Roots for Lasting Impact — Real transformation happens in communities, not across them. We are not a visiting program — we are a permanent fixture, trusted and embedded in every market we serve. 

• Our People Are the Movement — Back on My Feet runs on people. The people who show up, stand together, and move forward as one.
