Sports Backers and Richmond Road Runners support youth running and fitness

Kids On The Move is a Sports Backers program that inspires thousands of local youth to stay active through running and fitness. In partnership with the Richmond Road Runners Club, we support schools and organizations with mini-grants, coach stipends, and race equipment loans to help launch and sustain youth fitness initiatives.

Our support includes:

• Mini-Grants (up to $500) to fund run clubs, fitness programs, and school-based events.
• Coach Stipends for eligible head coaches to ensure consistent programming.
• Race Equipment Loans including timing clocks, signage, and bibs to help host your own events.
