For Coaches
In 1996, the RRCA developed and launched the RRCA Coaching Certification Program. The goal of the RRCA coaching program, which includes certification and continuing education, is to provide trained individuals to work as coaching professionals for the sport of distance running at all levels from beginner to advanced runners.
Since the program’s inception, the RRCA has certified over 1000 adult distance running coaches nationwide. Our coaches volunteer with their local running clubs, coach clients one-on-one, and coach training programs for groups of individuals working towards a common goal such as completing a marathon.
Find an RRCA Coaching Certification Course near you.
After successful completion of the RRCA Certified Coaching Course, new coaches will be added to the online roster of RRCA Certified Coaches and granted access rights to the coach’s private page. The private page contains information specific to coaches as well as how to purchase low cost professional liability insurance to cover coaching activities. Your name will appear on the roster as long as your CPR and First Aid are current. To update the date of your CPR or First Aid, select “My Profile” from the blue header at the top of the page to log in and make the updates. If you need assistance with your listing, please email office@rrca.org.
