Ali Astin
Family Fitness Ambassador
Ali is dedicated to empowering families to find ways to exercise together! As a RUN3rd Family Fitness Ambassador, she designs fitness programs for family members at all stages of activity, so everyone can find a way to be involved.
RUN3rd Alliance strives to empower youth through after-school running programs that champion students to discover their grit, build meaningful relationships, and inspire healthy communities.
RUN3rd is an inspirational campaign, a global movement sharing dedications made on behalf of people’s loved ones, causes and ideas. It was started by actor, activist and avid long distance runner Sean Astin in January 2012, and has grown to encompass hundreds of runners, walkers and others around the globe who have taken its meaning and mission into their hearts.
Ali's Mission
Exercize, running especially, doesn't have to be done by yourself. Growing up in a family of runners, Ali found that work-out time and family time don't have to be mutually exclusive.
Whether you're ready for a 5k or a 5 minute walk down the street, it's never impossible to get fit when you're surrounded by the people you love.
Ali strives to empower families to find ways to exercise together!
