If you love RVA because of the trails, the races, and the community you’ve built through movement, then you have something in common with Sports Backers!

This year we helped thousands of people move, connect, and thrive. But not everyone has access yet.

Our fiscal year closes June 30. A gift today helps bring active living to more people across our region. Will you help us?

Ashland's Hottest Half & 5k are 100% easier when you're running with a group of friends! 👏 Because what's better than a couple hours of yapping followed by candid pics and brunch at a small-town restaurant?! NOTHING 🙂‍↔️

Come run with us this summer and bring a bestie or two!

This week, the Allianz Richmond Marathon sold out for the third consecutive year and faster than ever before! We asked our staff what makes race day so special, and challenged them to guess the color of this year's full marathon shirt. Swag reveal coming later this summer! 👀 There still time to join the waitlist, or sign up for the CarMax Richmond Half Marathon and the Capital One Richmond 8k.

We’re celebrating 10 years of Megan Capito! 🥳👏 As our Director of Development, MC has done a fantastic job of building relationships and raising support for our organization from near and far in the last 10 years.

When she’s not zoned in at work, you can find her at F45, working on her 5k a day streak, showing her kids what a real hooper looks like, or hanging out with her bestie Megan Schultz! Planner of our annual Summer Ice Cream Tour and all things forced family fun, we don’t know where SB would be without her! Happy Workaversary, Megan! 🍦💰🐼

For the past few months the Sports Backers marketing pod has had the pleasure of working with Madelyn, our marketing intern! Madelyn has been helping with social, editing the podcast, writing press releases, working events and more. She's leaving us soon, so we figured now was a great time to have her on to recap her experience!
