Every kid deserves a starting line


The Race Collective, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit creating professionally organized endurance events exclusively for young athletes ages 4–17.

Through running, cycling, swimming, and multi-sport events, we give kids of all experience levels the opportunity to try something new, work toward a goal, and experience the pride of crossing a finish line. Since our first event in 2025, more than 500 young athletes have participated, and we’re working to bring these opportunities to even more children and communities.

Our mission

To create accessible, professionally organized youth endurance events that give children meaningful opportunities to be active, challenge themselves, and grow through sport. By offering welcoming, age-appropriate experiences and reducing barriers to participation, we aim to foster resilience, healthy habits, a sense of belonging, and a lifelong belief in what each young athlete can accomplish.
