Who is the Michigan Running Foundation?

The Michigan Running Foundation was founded in 1998. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Our mission is simple, we want to support youth running across the state of Michigan. Our grant program supports High School and Middle School Cross Country and Track programs, Youth Running Clubs, our Mighty Mile program, building running paths in communities, and more!

Running Paths

For years, we had a vision and goal of creating running paths at schools to benefit not only the students but also the surrounding community. In 2024, that vision became a reality. To date, we’ve successfully built two paths—one at Gardner School in Lansing and another at Vernor Elementary School in Detroit. This is just the beginning. We aim to build additional paths in schools and communities throughout Michigan.
