Program areas at Metropolitan Richmond Sports Backers
Sports Backers worked in the past year to inspire people to live actively in all corners of the community. We accomplish this mission by advocating for safe and accessible bike and pedestrian infrastructure; supporting a network of active living partners; providing group fitness activities and creating diverse event opportunities. Our innovative culture fuels the growth in our impact across the community.
The Sports Backers provide residents of greater Richmond with access to safe and affordable active living opportunities. As a result, our region is a healthier and more vibrant place to live, work and play.
We worked with the community and local governments to increase sidewalks, crosswalks, and multi-use trails throughout the region. We had greatly increased free fitness classes offered in underserved areas to 41 every week through our fitness warriors program. During the 2022-2023 school year, we supported 59 running and fitness clubs primarily in low-income schools across the region that impact nearly 3,000 kids.
