The Mission = Health Equity
We Off The Couch (WOTC) is a non-profit 501(c)3 running and fitness focused community group located in Richmond, Virginia that advocates for health equity. Our programming is community-focused and community-driven, encouraging people of all ages and fitness levels to improve their health and wellbeing through running and physical activity. Our overarching goal is to remove barriers that increase health disparities by providing programming, gear, race entries, and more for all members of WOTC.
Make Every Mile Count
