Overview

Mission

Support an engaged and active running community, whether for competition, physical fitness or pleasure, by providing group runs, races, socials, educational exchanges and other fitness activities for all ages.

What it reported doing in 2025

The primary program is hosting a number of running events. These events accomplish several organizational purposes. The events promote physical fitness for participants and the excess revenues generated from the events provide for fitness related educational programs and provide funds for local charities. Revenues include race registration and sponsorships.

Operating model

Other-operating. 95% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 80% for direct work, and 20% for grants.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
