Let’s Go, RVA! Sports Backers mission is to inspire people to live actively. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to producing quality participatory events that motivate residents & visitors to be more active, hosting group exercise programs for both youth & adults, & advocating for safe bike & pedestrian infrastructure.
Although we have had to morph and change our normal programming and events over the past two years, we have not stopped pursing our mission. And we are excited to be back to hosting in-person events/programs and have been met with an equal amount of excitement from the community and participants. We experienced the joy on the faces of children returning to in-person run clubs this past fall. We celebrated the gift of free fitness at our first ever Fitness Festival in September. We rejoiced in the Fall Line receiving almost complete funding for the 43-mile trail. And we witnessed the strength and energy of the running community as thousands crossed the finish line of the 2021 Richmond Marathon.
