RUNNING WITH PURPOSE was founded in 2014 by Dan Brown, after several successful years helping coach and build the Bedford Sprint Masters Youth Club into the great club that it is. Coach Brown decided to found RUNNING WITH PURPOSE, a local youth track and field club that will serve youth boys and girls ages 5-18, from all over Northeast Ohio. His decision to create the club arose out of the need to expand the offering of track and field to a wider youth audience, in Northeast Ohio. The goal at Running with Purpose is to build a family of youth athletes that we can help guide athletically, and in life. We will focus on track fundamentals, and advanced track and field techniques. We will learn how to compete with class. We will teach our youth how to work hard and improve in all areas of their lives both on and off the track.

Ultimately, we want to help be a vehicle in our kids continuing to pursue higher education as well as excellence in sports. Here at RWP while all of our youth athletes will be exposed to track and field we understand the importance in developing well rounded athletes for all sports, and to help guide them in a healthy lifestyle that will last a life time.

Our measure of success will not only be with medals and trophies, but with developing better citizens.
