Our WHY
Fun.Family.Fitness.
Bodies is built on the foundation of family, health, and unity. We may be small but strive to make a mighty impact on communities across the country. We work hard to grow each year and want you to grow with us! Our family-friendly events are designed to keep our communities healthy, active, and united year-round. You, our customer, are the most important piece of Bodies. Without you, we wouldn’t be who we are today. Our mission to “Make a healthy impact in our communities” has allowed us to partner with amazing sponsors that continue to grow year after year. We look forward to the opportunities of the future and hope to see you all at race after race, crushing goals along with us.
What to Expect
Awesome SWAG, ridiculously cool finisher medal, awards, vendors (as we said before, we are growing and always looking to add more vendors please email support@bodiesrc.com to inquire about becoming a Bodies partner!), and AFTER PARTY! We work hard to create fun courses to run by partnering with local parks. This allows us to minimize our impact on the local community, from residents to businesses and even police. We do things a little differently so we can tailor our races to everyone that wants to come :) Whether you are an avid runner or just starting, you belong at Bodies Race Company!

Refund/Cancellation Policy
All Bodies Race Company events proceed rain, shine, snow, or cold. For that reason, we have a strict no-refund policy. If you are unable to participate in the event, you can still receive your packet, shirt, and medal, and you simply run the race on your own time on your own course. See our virtual race information for complete details: https://bodiesracecompany.com/virtual-events/
This time of year the weather is iffy, but we will only cancel if our venue requires cancellation, or if there are ice hazards on the roads or course. Due to the time required for permitting we are not typically able to reschedule. If cancellation is necessary we will transfer everyone to virtual!
