| The Club's Mission "The Ronald McDonald House of Providence Running Club promotes the benefits of health, wellness, fitness and competition among people of all ages and abilities through running and walking. We support our members with motivation, encouragement and coaching to attain personal goals and top performance. The Club provides an enjoyable social atmosphere, while publicizing and promoting the mission of our local Ronald McDonald House.” That’s the mission taken on by over 150 men and women of all shapes, sizes, ages, abilities, professions, and outlooks who make up the RMHP Running Club. Some (few)are nationally competitive within their age groups; some rarely compete against anyone but themselves. All of us benefit from the volunteer services of legendary professional coaches. Mostly,we run. Stretching, fitness, and speed workouts once a week, group runs/walks weekends, and (optional) individual workouts with the coaches. Broken into goal and ability groups so the 9-minute milers training for a marathon aren’t running sprints with the <6-minute milers training for an indoor mile. And we help the House. Most people don’t realize that the fantastic services provided by the Ronald McDonald House are primarily dependent on contributions from outside their corporate namesake. Every member of the RMHP Running Club raises visibility for the House simply by wearing a club shirt at local races. Club volunteers prepare dinner for the residents once a month; others have raised thousands of dollars in pledges for races like the Falmouth Road Race, Boston Marathon, Amica Marathon and Rock ‘n Roll 1/2 Marathon. To learn more about the running club, drop by the Brown
University Stadium at 6pm on a Wednesday(while the
light/weather holds)to talk, run, walk or observe. Rick Ripley, Club President |
