On September 10-11th, 7 teammates and I will be completing a Ragnar race at Pocohantas State Park. Our team will complete 122.4 miles in a relay-style race - this will not only be a physical feat but also a mental and emotional one as every team member will run at least one leg at night in the dark, on limited sleep. But we are doing this all to raise money for Kids Run RVA, a program of Sports Backers. And, as many of you already know, it is a program near and dear to my heart and worth every bit of this challenge.
Kids Run RVA supports kids running clubs in the Richmond, Virginia region, giving elementary and middle school-aged kids an opportunity to train for and then complete local races over the course of the fall and/or spring seasons. Kids Run RVA provides resources for their coaches to foster a safe and fun environment to build up their physical endurance in order to be ready for race day. As a coach for the program for the past 4 years, I can vouch for it also being one of the happiest, supportive, and rewarding experiences for the kids and coaches alike.
Please consider supporting me by making a donation to Kids Run RVA.
