Scholarships
Since 2011, the Lakeland Runners Club has awarded scholarships to Polk Country graduates through a program administered by the Polk Education Foundation. Your contribution will go toward our annual goal to fund ten $1,000 scholarships.

Kids Running
The LRC Kids Run Club prepares kids for a lifetime of running. This program is gender-neutral and designed for children in kindergarten through fourth grade regardless of school affiliation. The emphasis of this program is on participation and developing a healthy lifestyle as opposed to being a competitive running program. Your contribution will go toward training equipment, incentives and rewards.

Cross Country
The middle school program is intended to encourage enthusiasm for running by striving to instill a love of the sport in a fun and encouraging community. Your contribution will go toward training equipment, cross country meet entry fees, and racing singlets.

Certification
All Lakeland Runners Club activities are led and coordinated by volunteers. Your contribution will go toward certification in coaching and race directing through the Road Runners Club of America, along with educational sessions for best practices for races, coaching, and board governance to help the LRC provide the highest quality activities for the community.
