On April 29th and 30th, three brave teams of 8 people will take on Ragnar Trail Richmond at Pocahontas State Park. The teams will complete 122.4 miles in a relay-style race. These 24 individuals will push themselves physically and mentally to complete this challenge. But, these teams are also raising money for a worthy cause - Kids Run RVA, a program of Sports Backers. Kids Run RVA supports youth running clubs in the Richmond, Virginia region, giving elementary and middle school aged kids an opportunity to train for and participate in a local race over the course of a fall and spring season. Kids Run provides resources for their coaches to foster a safe and fun environment to build up their young runners' physical endurance in order to be ready for race day. This program also helps youth overcome barriers to participation by offering complimentary race entries, covering the cost of transportation to and from the events, providing team t-shirts free of cost, and even outfitting youth in need with new running shoes.
