After Day One, you will be asked to sketch out training plans based on the Case Studies introduced. This informal, ungraded "homework" assignment asks you to apply materials from Day One to prepare for Day Two's group work. Day Two includes the business of coaching, sports psychology, nutrition for coaching, recognizing injuries and prevention, environmental factors that affect running performance, and building training programs as a group activity. Online Course Overview: The course will be team taught by RRCA coaching education instructors. Registration is limited to 35 participants to encourage a positive, interactive learning experience. Full attendance and participation is required during the course in order to complete the certification process. While every cohort receives the same curriculum, every cohort has a different dynamic, so the schedule may be modified to suit the specific needs of the weekend program. FedEx will ship the hard-copy course book directly to the U.S. mailing address listed in a participant's registration at no additional charge the week before the course. *The address you enter during registration must be able to accept FedEx shipments.* International participants will be contacted individually by email to discuss delivery options. Course participants will receive multiple pre-course emails from our Director of Coaching Education, Randy Accetta, with important information and reminders. Please read these emails! Instructors will email a link to participants to join the Zoom classroom several days before the course takes place. Course participants will need a computer, tablet, or phone with video and audio capabilities on a reliable internet connection. Participants should set up in a quiet space to avoid distractions and disruptions from others. Instructors will use both the audio and video functions, and will use the screen share feature to display the course slides. There will be opportunities for both written and spoken discussion and Q&A during the course. There will be small-group work on program development in breakout Zoom rooms. Instructors will take attendance at various points during both course days. The Zoom course may be recorded for the RRCA's use. A participant's course registration and attendance indicate understanding and agreement that all photos and videos will become the property of the RRCA. As part of the certification process, prospective coaches must provide proof of current CPR and First Aid certifications within 60 days after the course. The RRCA is accepting CPR and First Aid certifications that are completed online, in person, or in a hybrid format. The post-course exam will follow standard online exam protocols, in which participants are required to take the open-book exam without assistance from others. Prospective coaches will have 30 days after the course to complete the online exam. A score of 85/100 or better is required for certification. Waitlist Procedure: If a course has reached capacity, a prospective participant may register for that course's waitlist. The prospective participant will receive an email if space becomes available and will have 24 hours to complete the online registration process before the space is offered to the next person on the waitlist. Cancellation and Refund Policy: Participants may request withdrawal from a course and partial refund in the amount of $300 ($350 - $50 cancellation fee) up to 14 days before the course date. No refunds will be issued for withdrawals requested less than two weeks before a course. Email coaching@rrca.org to submit a cancellation request. Participants MAY NOT sell or give their spot to another person if they cannot attend the course. Transfers to different course cohorts are not permitted.

The Virginia's Blue Ridge Triple Crown challenge is back with an amazing medal and more options! We're excited to invite runners from all over the country to Virginia's Blue Ridge for the area's three biggest half marathons and 10K/8K races. There's also a Triple Crown option for the shorter races, dubbed the "Triple Crown Sprint Series." These series show who the most dedicated runners are by rewarding those that finish the three races with some serious bling!

Here's the story behind this race: Bradlee LaMontagne's life was cut way too short at the age of 21 on December 10, 2020. He was tragically killed by a negligent boat driver in Cozumel, Mexico. He was a Junior at Johns Hopkins and also the Captain of the wrestling team. He loved wrestling. He started wrestling in elementary school with Great Neck Wrestling Club and continued on until college. He was two time captain of the Cox Wrestling team and a state finalist and two time state placer, region champion, and had over 120 varsity wins. He was an NCAA All American Scholar at Johns Hopkins placing in the region. Bradlee has 4 siblings and many family and friends. He was loving, kind, passionate and hard working. He had the kind of energy and positivity that would fill the room and bring a smile to everyone around them. He will be forever missed and loved. One Thanksgiving of note, 2019, Bradlee wanted to enjoy Thanksgiving just like everyone else. Except when you're a wrestler, as some of you know, wrestlers cut weight so it's not as easy to just eat and lay around like most of us get to do. Around the holidays it's pretty torturous especially when everyone is eating until their buttons pop off. Well, Brad wanted to eat and eat big, so he did what anyone would do, he ran 15.04 miles Thanksgiving morning😳!! Let me say it again, 15.04 MILES JUST TO EAT💪 That is BRADASS! Let me preface this by saying, this is not 15 miles and it's not Thanksgiving morning. But it is 6.2 miles and is in Seashore State Park (or First Landing as it is now called), similar to where he ran. I think he would be proud of all of us, if we could do half of what he did (or a little less than half) to raise money for wrestlers' scholarships and to celebrate his life and legacy.

Join us for the 6th Annual Memorial Run for Sergeant Perry A. Hodge! Just like last year, the race will take place at the Sgt. Perry A. Hodge Track at Pulaski County Middle School. This is a 4 mile race instead of a 5K. Where did we come up with this? Two reasons: #1 - 4 miles is equals 16 laps, which was Perry's badge number. #2 - Perry would always ask if we really wanted to leave 9/10 of a mile on the table. We always finished with good even numbers. Also, with this set up we are going to be able to have agencies set up aid stations along the track to cheer runners on and provide replenishment as they log their miles. BUT, we aren't stopping there. The purchase of your race ticket, by November 7, grants you a sweet 16 for 16 t-shirt, AND food from Bull & Bones! As in years past, we will award medals to the top 3 men and top 3 women who cross the finish line. Anyway, entrance is $60 until November 7, 2025. After that, the price goes up to $85! So, it pays to be quick on registering as well as on the track. We look forward to seeing everyone there, raising money for Perry's Legacy Fund, and paying tribute to the best person to ever put on a Pulaski County Sheriff's Office uniform. We hope to see you there!

Founded in 2014, and based in Bristow, VA, is a 501 (c) (3), non-profit organization. SJGF was founded by Sara Knight in honor of Sara and Jason Knight’s daughter Julia, who passed away in 2013 due to complications of a rare disease called I-cell. Julia lived 12 beautiful years inspiring everyone who knew her, read about her, and loved her. Despite the storms she faced, Julia learned how to “Dance In The Rain.” She lived in the moment, made life SWEET, and filled hearts with JOY…just by being her. Their mission is to Bless, Celebrate, and Love children who are medically fragile, have complex special/medical needs, or are currently facing a medical crisis. They grant wishes that bring joy and change lives, fill in gaps other services are unable to fill, and provide support with day-to-day needs for families going through the unimaginable with their child. The gifts they provide bring comfort and happiness; and oftentimes dramatically improve and change children’s lives. So this year we will run for all the raindancers, as they call the children they serve.

31st Annual Chesterfield Alumni Run A Legacy Continued. A Community Reunited. Hey everyone, There are traditions so special they become the bedrock of our community. For over three decades, the Chesterfield Alumni Run has been exactly that. It is the homecoming that kicks off our Thanksgiving—the one day each year we return to the course that holds so many of our shared memories to reconnect with the people who define our running journeys. Last year, we celebrated an incredible milestone with the 30th anniversary. It was our 2nd year as caretakers of this event, and seeing the community show up in such force reinforced why we took this on: to ensure that the legacy built by the late, legendary Coach Stan Morgan and the original founders lives on for the next 30 years and beyond. As we move into the 31st Annual, we aren't just maintaining a tradition; we are strengthening it. This Thanksgiving is your chance to be part of the next chapter of RVA running history. A Tradition with a Purpose To honor the spirit of the founders, this will always be a FREE community event. However, we remain deeply committed to honoring the man who helped start it all. We are proud to accept optional donations for the Stan Morgan Memorial Award. As the longtime coach at Midlothian High School and a co-founder of this run, Coach Morgan’s impact is immeasurable. Your donations allow us to give back to a deserving local high school T&F/XC program in his name. For the full story of Coach Morgan’s legacy and the award, please visit our "Donation" page.” What to Expect on Thanksgiving Morning • The Ultimate Homecoming: Dig out those old school colors! This is the morning to reconnect with teammates, rivals, and friends on the starting line. • The Historic 5k Course: We’re back on the classic XC 5k route at Pocahontas State Park—the same terrain that has tested generations of RVA runners. • The Next Generation: The Kids' Fun Run is a staple. The first 50 youth finishers will receive the traditional and renowned Gingerbread cookie at the finish line. • Post-Run Community: Stick around after your finish for giveaways and, more importantly, to spend time with the community that makes the Richmond running scene the best in the country. Event Details • Host: =PR= Run Club - RVA • Date: Thanksgiving Day | Thursday, November 26th, 2026 • Time: 9:00 AM • Location: Pocahontas State Park (Front field near the main entrance) • Cost: FREE!
