\nBrooks is supporting pathways that increase running access and participation for youth<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today Brooks Running<\/a> launched Future Run<\/a>, an initiative to champion youth and help them discover the lifelong benefits of the run and its community. An evolution of the brand\u2019s current community impact work, Future Run aims to reach 1 million young runners in the U.S. with a $10 million investment over the next five years.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nInactivity among kids is rising while budget cuts push schools to reduce or eliminate funding for physical education and activities. Screen usage among youth is up 50% compared to pre-pandemic numbers,1 <\/sup>and more young people are reporting poor mental health.2<\/sup> Although Track and Field remains among the top sports in the U.S. for middle and high school participation (1M+) and among the lowest annual family spend for any sport,3<\/sup> barriers to running remain and are more prevalent in certain communities. BIPOC youth make up fewer than 35% of U.S. runners ages 11-18, and girls and low-income youth experienced a significant drop in sports participation following the COVID-19 pandemic.4<\/sup> Brooks\u2019 Future Run initiative looks to help clear participation obstacles for young runners nationwide.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAt Brooks, we believe the run can change a day, a life, and the world. It is a giver of strength, hope, clarity, confidence, connection, and so much more,\u201d said Jim Weber, CEO at Brooks Running. \u201cWith Future Run, we hope to make a positive and lasting impact on the next generation of runners and the future of our sport.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nPhysical activity gives children positive benefits that extend into adulthood, including lower levels of depression, higher self-esteem, and increased academic and workplace achievements.5<\/sup> Since 2015, Brooks has invested more than $4 million in youth running by providing grants and performance running gear to middle and high school track and cross-country teams in North America, as well as through the Empower Her collection, a partnership with DICK\u2019S Sporting Goods benefitting girls running programs through The DICK\u2019S Sporting Goods Foundation<\/a><\/b> beginning in 2020. Brooks also hosts the top U.S. high school runners in Seattle, Washington, where it is headquartered, to compete in its annual PR Invitational. With Future Run, the brand will continue that work with an expanded vision that amplifies national and regional running programs offering youth\u2014particularly those in underrepresented communities\u2014opportunities to participate.\n<\/p>\n

\nPartnerships to Increase Pathways<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

\nRunning programs offer powerful pathways to improve social, educational, physical, and mental health outcomes for youth.6<\/sup> With the launch of Future Run, Brooks is proud to announce a multi-year partnership with Marathon Kids<\/a><\/b>. Marathon Kids provides evidence-based physical activity programming to help kids adopt an active lifestyle and learn how being active can improve their entire well-being. Marathon Kids\u2019 free, digital goal setting and milestone tracking tool allows schools, run clubs, teams, and community organizations across the U.S. to increase physical activity and athletic self-perception among K-12 students. This year, Marathon Kids will serve nearly 200,000 kids across 789 communities in 45 states. With a commitment to address low-income populations and provide programming to vulnerable populations, Marathon Kids reports 62% of its clubs are in Title I Schools.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are incredibly excited to partner with Brooks in this initiative to reach more kids through Marathon Kids,\u201d said Cami Hawkins, CEO of Marathon Kids. \u201cThe Future Run vision is perfectly aligned with the pillars of our program, which teaches participants goal setting and tracking, provides them role models and social support, and celebrates their successes. Through running, kids improve their physical and emotional health and gain self-confidence, grit, and determination while having fun along the way.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThrough Future Run, Brooks will also invest in regional partners such as Angel City Elite<\/a><\/b> in Los Angeles, Students Run Philly Style<\/a><\/b> in Philadelphia, Kids of Steel<\/a><\/b> in Pittsburgh, and We Run Houston<\/a><\/b> in Houston. With unique programs addressing the health and wellness needs of their community\u2019s youth, these organizations connect participants to running opportunities, coaching, and mentors in their own backyards.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Power of Team<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

\nLater this year, Brooks will launch the 2023 Future Run product collection with shoes and socks in classic varsity color combinations, paying homage to the powerful dynamic of running as a team sport. The collection debut will coincide with the re-launch of the Future Run Team Grants program (previously called Brooks Booster Club). With Team Grants, Brooks will provide financial support and performance running gear to track and cross-country teams at 50 U.S. schools each year. Brooks will also continue its Inspiring Coaches program, which annually recognizes high school track and cross-country coaches who go above and beyond for their athletes.\n<\/p>\n

\nBrooks plans to expand its new Future Run initiative to markets beyond the U.S. in the coming years.\n<\/p>\n
