MOBILIZE THE COMMUNITY

WeOffTheCouch is a non-profit organization committed to life-saving improvements by connecting, contributing, and conquering obstacles within marginalized communities. Connections are made that build trust, a sense of belonging, and relationships with our community. We contribute to the safety and inclusion of our runners, in addition to being committed to enhancing our community. We also want to conquer fears and barriers to access, while building confidence.

We have partnered with Brooks Running, Djimon Hounsou Foundation, J&A Racing, HCA VA, NASCAR, Outdoors for All, Pacers Running, Relay Run Company, the Boston Marathon, Sportsbackers, Richmond Road Runners Club, and Evo Sports Collective. Our partners have provided race entries, shoes, apparel, and other items to help support our mission. We have also led runs for organizations to encourage their community and employees to get active.

Most recently we’ve partnered with our good friends at Relay Run Co to help meet the needs of the community. Together we’ve provided high-quality running shoes and spikes to area underserved schools and provided enrichment sessions locally at Relay Run Co. The outcomes have been phenomenal as Lucile Brown Middle has gone on to break many records this track season. We aspire to disrupt systematic depravities and give back to the community via fitness and total health. The broader vision is to completely mobilize the local community through free running and fitness. The goal is to obtain a facility in the future to host all things WeOffTheCouch.
