Kids On The Move is the official event charity of the Ashland Half Marathon & 5k. The Richmond Road Runners Club and Sports Backers donate all proceeds from the Ashland Half events to this worthwhile cause. The event proceeds make it possible to provide funding support to local kids running and fitness clubs, as well as school-based running events.
Sports Backers offers the Kids On The Move program to make active living fun and accessible to kids throughout our region. Kids On The Move provides free training opportunities for youth of all ages, abilities and backgrounds and teaches kids that physical activity can be fun and rewarding. For schools in low income communities, Kids On The Move can cover the cost of shoes, team t-shirts, transportation, and event entries so that ALL kids can participate. Donations are critical to the program’s success. Each time a child laces up his or her shoes, your donation will be giving them the most important gift of all - a path to good health and fitness!
