Runnin' For Rhett is a non-profit foundation that was founded on December 7th, 2007 by a grass roots group of family and friends that love Rhett Seevers.  Our missin is to LET RHETT'S STORY INSPIRE those who feel defeated, UPLIFT those who feel down, and ENCOURAGE all to take that first step and MOVE INTO LIFE.

• Runnin' For Rhett Foundation Scholarship Fund: After an extensive applicatain process, each spring, two $2,500 scholarships are awarded to carefully selected Sacramento County college students that are enrolled in a "special education" teaching credential program.
• R4R Youth Fitness Program:  Each year, over $60,000 is funded to over 30 Sacramento area elementary, middle and high schools.  THe grant awards include a 5-week after school training program that provides a twice weekly coached training program, a baby blue R4R cotton t-shirt and an entry into a designated 5K run in April or October.  The students are also awarded special race medals after each event.

Winter/Spring 2012 Training

This year's traing offers a TON OF OPTIONS for everyone.  Of course we are still offering our awesome 1/2 marathon training, but this year we have some other options as well.

The race R4R is training for is the "LUCKY 13" half marathon on Saturday,  March 17 - The Lucky 13 is also offering the LUCKY 7 (7miles) and the LUCKY 7K (4.3 miles).  So whatever race distance you would like to challenge yourself  with, R4R will be there for you,giving you the opportunity to get off that couch and get MOVING INTO LIFE.

With R4R training you not only get great  one-on-one traing from our experienced "High Five Team Training" trainers, but you also get the social aspect of Runnin' For Rhett.  After each Saturday training, we all get together for coffee and breakfast.  We develop that personal contact that will resonate with you more and more each week.  By the end of training, you will crave the continued support that only comes from the camaraderie of the R4R group.

Do you want more specifics?  We will have a Runnin' For Rhett information night on Wednesday, January 11th at 7PM at the Smud Auditorium - 6301 S Street, Sacramento.
