Dear RRCA Members,

Running also continues to be one the of the leading forces for engaging donors to financially support charities and their mission driven work. Our members are raising millions and millions of dollars annually to benefit local, regional, national, and global nonprofits.
The RRCA has seen continued growth for our member clubs, events, and running event participation nationwide in 2014. Our valued members continue to be the driving force of the growth in our sport. Keep up the great work!
Your efforts truly define why WE RUN THE NATION! We look forward to your continued support and your membership in 2015!
Happy Thanksgiving,
