WHY I STARTED RUNNER2RUNNER, by Melissa Hill

Our clubs were founded out of a concern for the health of our youth and a desire to teach a skill that will last a lifetime.

I believe early introduction to running in a positive environment promotes a lifelong love of running and healthy living.  After moving to Portland, Oregon in 1997, I discovered youth running programs were not offered at our local school. Shortly afterwards, I started cross-country, track and field and running teams at five elementary and middle schools.

As our programs grew, we saw that high school running teams were benefiting from our initiative, resulting in state titles in track and cross country. Providing even a brief, positive introduction to running at an early age provides athletes with a foundation to participate on their high school track or cross country team, run at the collegiate level OR the best outcome; continue the healthy habits and workouts they've learned for the rest of their lives.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Currently, we have programs based in 6 states: Oregon, Washington, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, and Hawaii. 

Each coach is certified and has passed a background check and SafeSport.  Runner2Runner workouts are developed exclusively for young runners, offering safe, progressive, and age-appropriate training..
