Race with Purpose
At Live Red Foundation (LRF), we race with purpose as each of our events funds the important work we are doing in Richmond's lowest-opportunity neighborhoods.
LRF is a 501c3 corporation that was founded to offer free fitness programs, which teach 8 core life skills, to youth in low-opportunity communities. These programs are funded through premier youth races which promote fitness in all communities.
Do you believe in the power of fitness to transform lives? When you race with LRF, you join us on our mission to give this to every child. Visit our website to learn more!
