Who Does The KRRA Support?

The KRRA Memberships and Race Series help to support many great causes and charities in the Kingston area.

Some of the most significant KRRA support is for the Start2Finish Running and Reading Program, (formerly KidsFest) through Frontenac Public School and First Avenue Public School in Kingston. In this program, volunteer coaches share their love of running, health, and reading with disadvantaged kids in Kingston and promote a healthy lifestyle to public school children grades 1 to 6. Please see the KRRA Messageboard for more information.

As an example of a school that has a Run and Read program in place:

In addition to this, several KRRA Series races are direct sponsors of organizations like:  

  • Canadian Diabetes Association (Run With The Wild)  
  • Kingston Symphony Association (Beat Beethoven)  
  • Easter Seals (Flight at Fort Fright)  
  • Children's Aid Society (Ks4Kids)

    The KRRA is also pleased to support other important local charities like The Limestone Learning Foundation and the Kingston Humane Society and is also pleased to encourage younger runners through kids races and "fun runs" at several of our events.

    As a final example, in 2011, the KRRA awarded two $500 bursaries to one male and one female graduating high school runners. Click here for the press release for this award. In 2012, these bursaries will again be awarded to two graduating students from KASSAA schools. For full eligibility criteria, please see the application form.
