The MVRA is a non-profit, all volunteer organization that works to promote health and fitness through running in the Tri-states area. We sponsor four major events of our own during the year and consult and assist with many other local events. Every year we give back to the community by making donations to many local charitable organizations and providing scholarships to local students.
