On April 29th and 30th, 7 teammates and I will be taking on Ragnar Trail Richmond at Pocahontas 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.
We're doing this not just for fun, but especially to raise money for Kids Run RVA, a program of Sports Backers. Kids Run RVA supports youth running clubs in the Richmond region, giving elementary and middle school kids an opportunity to train for and participate in local races, providing physical and emotional benefits. Kids Run provides resources for coaches to foster a safe and fun environment to build up young runners' endurance. 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.
Please consider supporting me by making a donation to Kids Run RVA.
