Donate to the Foundation
Help our athletes get off to a running start. ZAP founders Andy Palmer and his wife Zika developed the program as a way to give back to the sport of distance running, a sport that played a significant role in both their lives. Your gifts help 8-10 post-collegiate distance runners in their efforts to make World Championship and Olympic Teams, develop individual professional skills for benefit in post-competitive years, promote an active healthy lifestyle and an environment for achievement in running for all levels of runners.
