Connect. Contribute. Conquer
What once began with a prediabetic scare, has blossomed into over hundreds of attendees throughout the week. The year 2020 was nothing short of trying. It highlighted our need for community. It also revealed health inequities as BIPOC have been disproportionately impacted during Covid-19. Through the pandemic, social unrest, and massive losses, somehow, we’ve managed to grow and unite a group of people from all walks of life. Together we aspire to provide a positive running experience centered on camaraderie, fitness, fun and life.
WeOffTheCouch is a community-based run and fitness community located in Richmond, VA, led by Anthony & Tara Clary. In efforts to encourage people of all fitness levels to participate, we believe in “there’s no such thing as a runner’s body” or that “your pace matters”. We simply embody the spirit of running happily.
Barriers to access are real. Therefore, part of our mission is to raise funds for race entries and the cost of running shoes quarterly. Everyone should have the ability to run, no matter their circumstance.
Support Us
Supporting WeOffTheCouch strengthens the community through the organization’s ability to connect, contribute, and conquer. We want to ensure we build trust and a sense of belonging with everyone who comes to our weekly runs and events, with a commitment to safety, while breaking barriers and building confidence. Your donation will allow us to provide weekly hydration and safety gear for our weekly runs, proper footwear for training, race entries, and funds for community connection events.
