Hudson Mohawk Road Runners Club Announces Grant Opportunity
Funding Available to Support Running-Related Opportunities in Capital District

The Hudson Mohawk Road Runners Club (HMRRC) is currently accepting grant applications from community groups, road race clubs, municipalities, park and trail organizations, and other qualifying entities for programs and projects that advance running opportunities in the Capital Region. Eligible organizations include those established to advance or support running and that have no restrictions on membership or participation, or those that maintain, plan or organize local running related events open to all.  Eligible expenses may include race support, road running infrastructure projects, trail improvements or instructional/training programs.

The HMRCC grant program aims to support projects and programs that increase opportunities for running in the capital district. The program advances the club’s mission to promote the sport of distance running through education and training and promote running as part of a healthy lifestyle and community development.  

Grants are available in amounts up to $1,000. Applications must be received by February 1, 2020. Applications received after that date will be considered in the July funding group. The application and submission instructions are available at www.hmrrc.com/outreach/grants
