COLUMBUS, OHIO–

Accomplished Team USA Olympic shot putter Adelaide Aquilla joined forces with the Healthy Kids Running Series (HKRS) at recent USATF Foundation sponsored Run With US! events to provide an inspiring and empowering experience for young athletes. In a heartwarming display of mentorship and motivation, Adelaide made a profound impact during her participation in two appearances arranged by the Upper Arlington and Powell, Ohio clubs.

During her visit, Adelaide conducted pre-race stretching sessions, kicked off the races and provided enthusiastic encouragement to all the participants. She also went the extra mile by running alongside a young girl, offering motivation to ensure she crossed the finish line.

The USATF Foundation continues to partner with HKRS to provide these unique opportunities to young track & field athletes with several similar events planned for 2024.



The USATF Foundation provides a means to attract and guide funds to new and innovative track and field programs with an emphasis on providing opportunities for youth athletes, emerging and experienced elite athletes, along with guidance on future career paths. The Foundation depends upon donations from its Board of Directors, major gifts, and from generous fans of track & field.

Elite athletes are supported by the Foundation via monetary grants, career counseling (mentoring and jobs) and participation in Run With US!. Youth athletes are supported via monetary grants to youth clubs.
