The Running Clinic Philanthropic Fund aims to:

 

- Raise awareness within the community about the benefits of physical activity;

 

- Promote youth health through running;

 

- Support running athletes through their journey, as health ambassadors.

 

 

  

The Running Clinic wishes to be an agent of change in its community, by demonstrating that a healthy lifestyle is taught by setting an example and creating projects that bring people together. Thanks to The Running Clinic Philanthropic Fund, we raise awareness about the benefits of physical activity, support running athletes through their progress and promote youth health through running.

 

We are proud to get involved in the community in many ways 

 

  • Since 2012, we have gotten over 5,000 children moving per year as part of The Running Clinic's Mini Marathon Series.

 

  • Since 2013, The Running Clinic has been an important partner of the Cours ta Réussite program, an organization working to keep youth in school, by raising thousands of dollars and helping young runners prevent injuries in their physical preparation.

 

  • In 2014, with the help of 42 people dedicated to the cause, we managed to raise more than $200,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Québec, as part of the Défibrose: la grande muraille de Chine event organized by Geneviève Plante and Sébastien Richard.

 

  • In 2014 and 2015, The Running Clinic's Trail Running Event donated a total amount of $8,000 to the Tournesol program. The mission of the Tournesol (Sunflower) program is to allow underprivileged kids to attend the Saisonnier summer camp.

 

  • In 2015, The Running Clinic was involved in several projects, including raising $3,000 for the Salvation Army.

 

  • In 2014 and 2015, grants of $1,400 and $2,900, respectively, were awarded, with the help of our partners, to athletes for their outstanding performance at The Running Clinic Trail Running Event.

 

  • Several promising ambassador-athletes receive support from the fund for the health values they promote.
