Blue Ridge Road Runners – Middle School Program

About the Program:

The Blue Ridge Road Runners (BRRR) are proud to support youth running in Augusta County.  We feel this is desperately needed, due to the lack of funding for Middle Scool sports.  We have supported a Boys and Girls team in northern Augusta County for several year and wish to expand this program to other schools.

Who is eligible?

Middle schools (Private or Public) in Augusta County that do not receive financial support from a school board.

What BRRR provides member schools:

• Initial monetary outlay to purchase uniforms for the team.
• Membership for each team member in RRCA.
• $150 gas card for each volunteer coach @ completion of the season.
• Link to group website and/or group photo on www.BlueRidgeRR.com.
• Other support may be provided on an “as needed” basis.

What do teams need to do to participate in the Program:.

• Include the “Road Runner” name in their team name. (e.g. Northern Augusta Road Runners) and on uniforms.
• Provide a volunteer Coach who provides team management and coaching for team.
• Participate in at least three (3) races per season.
• Each team member joins BRRR at a cost of $8 for a student, due by first meet of the season.
• Fund raise to help offset other ongoing costs (i.e. additional uniforms, race registrations, travel).
• Apply to BRRR for membership, with requests for cost outlays, by March 31 of each year.  BRRR Board will decide on funding in April Board meeting and advise all clubs of status by the end of April.
