Our Story
Our Founder
Sarah Holmes, Founder of Miles Together, is a high school senior from Middlebury, Vermont. During her semester away at the Island School—a program dedicated to sustainability, impact, and leadership—Sarah learned the importance of exercise as a source of empowerment. As part of the program, Sarah trained with her peers to prepare for a four-mile ocean swim. The daily training built her strength and confidence while the support of her peers taught her about the power of exercising together to accomplish a collective goal. Building on her experience of exercise as a source of empowerment, she launched Miles Together, a platform for people from all over the country to inspire change through collective movement.
