Run Harrisonburg is part of the national nonprofit Run Your City, which started in 2018 as a student-led initiative at the University of Virginia. Since then, it has grown into a movement with over 50 college-based chapters across the U.S. and internationally, including a transformative camp in Bugesera, Rwanda. All chapters are free, volunteer-run, and rooted in the belief that every child deserves the chance to reach their starting line, literally and figuratively.

Run Your City exists to break down barriers to sport, especially for kids who might not otherwise have access. Whether it's a Sunday race or a practice filled with laughter, the goal is simple: show up as you are, leave stronger and more connected.

Run Harrisonburg starts the Spring 2025 season on February 22nd! With your help, we can continue keeping our program FREE and accessible to all kids! Please consider donating below to help support our chapter and our mission to give every kid an introduction to sports.
