Shoes for Youth Fitness Program

I started running on my own in 2007 with a 5K in April and a marathon later that December.  But my running journey wouldn't be what it is today without my involvement with Runnin' For Rhett(R4R) that began in 2008. R4R gave my running a purpose and a supportive community of runners pursuing their respective goals.  I've been serving on R4R's board of directors since 2010, and I'm very proud to be a part of an organization that has contributed to the Sacramento area's youth by way of granting after school youth fitness programs (YFP) to participating schools.  The YFP is a 5-week 5K training program for participants, and a 5K goal race at the conclusion of the training program.  In addition, R4R has been able to provide running shoes for participants.  R4R has events that raise funds for the YFP.  $45 covers the cost to put a pair of New Balance shoes for a participating child.  For this year's Big Day of Giving (May 7, 2026), please consider donating to Runnin' For Rhett!

Go Rhett!!
