RRCA Supports Back to School Running

For many, August signifies the annual back to school routine of planning out fall calendars, purchasing supplies, gearing up for Cross Country season, and more.

Did you know that the RRCA is a great resource for schools and clubs that host youth running programs?

Did you know that the RRCA could support youth Cross Country teams by providing a Cross Country club with nonprofit status and insurance for training runs and Cross Country meets? As budgets suffer and cuts are made to school based youth sports, parent run Cross Country teams that are members of the RRCA are gaining in popularity.

Are you a teacher or parent interested in hosting a gender-neutral youth running program this fall at your school to promote lifelong fitness, healthy eating and more? Our Kids Run the Nation program is designed specifically for you! Find more information about the Kids Run the Nation Program at http://www.RRCA.org/programs/kids or http://www.KidsRuntheNation.org.

Do you need a parent waiver in Spanish for your youth program? We have one posted at http://www.kidsrunthenation.org/forteacherscoaches.html.

Does your school Cross Country team or youth running program have a criminal background check policy for coaches and volunteers? If not, you can find the RRCA’s policy on criminal background checks posted at http://www.rrca.org/resources/management/background.pdf. To help youth programs implement this guideline, the RRCA has partnered with TC logiQ, Inc. to provide an affordable background screening service. For more information call TC logiQ at 877-825-6447 or visit them online at http://www.tclogiq.com.

Please support the RRCA and invest in youth running by making a tax deductable contribution to the RRCA Kids Run the Nation Fund to ensure local youth running programs have the resources they need to succeed. Contributions can be mailed to the RRCA at 1501 Lee Hwy, Ste 140, Arlington, VA 22209. Simply put Kids Run the Nation in the memo line.
