A Running Passion started our student athlete referral program last year. In a working collaboration with Fleet Feet Maine Running in Portland this fall we have already outfitted 2 student athletes from Westbrook and 1 student athlete from Biddeford. In addition, we are currently working on another referral.
Our referral programs help these student athletes get the items they need to succeed in cross country and track and field including training shoes, racing and event shoes, and even training apparel if needed. Running may not seem like it costs a lot, but as you move up in competition and training having proper equipment is not only important to success, and stay injury free, but it can also get quite expensive.
Our referrals go to well deserving students who not only do well in sport, but also work hard in the classroom and hold down part time jobs as well! We are proud of all the hard work they are putting in and more then happy to support them on their journey.
