About Team Asha


Asha's marathon program is one of the premier endurance sports training programs in the United States. We provide personalized coaching, motivation and support for individuals with a life goal to run or walk an official marathon or half marathon. Our program is the largest fundraiser for supporting Asha sponsored educational initiatives across India. Join Team Asha and run to change a life.

To join Team Asha attend one of the infosessions being held in NYC in the months of March, April and May. In these infosessions, you will meet the Asha coaches, past Team Asha runners and other volunteers from Asha. You will also meet lots of eager new people who will have the same questions that need to be answered.

Team Asha has no race, age, gender or national boundaries. In the past, about 40% of the runners have been women. Runners are from mixed races and nationalities all training together, achieving the same goals and cheering each other on.

The bonds of friendship that have been formed between the runners have very often outlasted the summer training program. It's not uncommon to find groups of people taking vacations together and running all over the world as a team.

Quite a few members of Team Asha have made running a part of their daily routine and continue to run after the season gets over. They run through the winters and then come back the following year to train for another marathon. For them running has become an integral part of their lives.
