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.
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: The KRRA is also pleased to support other important local charities like The Limestone Learning Foundation, the Kingston Humane Society and CanAssist Africa; we are also pleased to encourage younger runners through kids races and "fun runs" at several of our events. As a final example, in 2012, the KRRA awarded one $500 bursary to a female graduating high school runners. In 2013, we hope to again award two bursaries to graduating students from KASSAA schools.
