The story behind the fund racing alliance

Regardless of terrain, when I am running I feel free. It has always been a healthy outlet for daily stress and often the time when I accomplish my clearest thinking.

Every spring, I challenged myself to a race and committed time each day to strengthening both my body and mind. In 2020, as the world shifted and races disappeared, I realized it might be a long time before my next starting line.

Like many, I had to redefine the experiences that gave my life meaning. On a quiet run down an unlined road, surrounded by trees, I had a vision. That vision became The Fund Racing Alliance.

An alliance is a mutually beneficial relationship. We are all facing challenges individually—why not face them together? From the beginning, our efforts raised funds to help those in need while encouraging the benefits of exercise: reduced stress, lifted moods, and stronger connections to one another.

Today, five years later, our mission has grown. We are proud to provide free therapy for those in need of mental healthcare, because we believe that everyone deserves access to support when they need it most. Guided by our founder’s belief that we are stronger when we take strides together, The Fund Racing Alliance continues to unite community, movement, and purpose.

Join us as we keep running for a reason.
