Sports Backers created Kids Run RVA to make running and active living fun and accessible to kids throughout our region. Kids Run RVA provides free training opportunities for youth of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. For schools in low income communities, Kids Run RVA can cover the cost of shoes, team t-shirts, transportation, and event entries so that ALL kids can participate. Donations are critical to the program’s success. Each time a child laces up his or her shoes, you will be giving them the most important gift of all - a path to good health and fitness!
