A Running Passion carries on the legacy of coach Will Fulford by enhancing the lives of young people involved in the sports of cross country and track and field through education, guidance, coaching, programming, and removing financial barriers associated with participation in those sports.
We Believe that sports cultivate confidence, independence, resilience, and academic achievement.
We Strive to empower young people to have the will and strength to pursue their goals in sports, academics, and life with the belief that every young person’s journey towards growing and learning is an investment for our community and future.
