Race & Serve with Purpose

At Live Red Foundation (LRF), we believe in living with purpose—whether through racing or serving. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, every event we host funds the important work we are doing in Richmond’s lowest-opportunity neighborhoods, providing free fitness programs that teach 8 core life skills to youth who need them most.

When you race with purpose, your miles fuel programs that bring fitness, mentorship, and hope to every child. When you serve with purpose, your time and talents directly impact lives, helping us reach more youth with encouragement and opportunity.

Do you believe in the power of fitness and community to transform lives? Whether you lace up to race or roll up your sleeves to serve, you join us on our mission to make this transformation possible for every child.

Volunteer with us here!
