About Runners In Need

Many runners accumulate gear over time — shoes that were the wrong fit, race medals, lightly used apparel. At the same time, countless young athletes and community runners train in worn-out shoes or go without proper gear.

Runners In Need bridges this gap. We connect organizations that serve runners — school coaches, community running programs, volunteer groups — with donors who have gear to give.

Organizers post specific needs with details about sizes, types, and quantities. Donors browse, pledge what they can offer, and coordinate delivery. It's simple, direct, and makes sure the right gear gets to the right people.

How It Works

1. Organizers sign up and post what their runners need.
2. Donors browse needs by location and category.
3. Pledge gear you want to donate and coordinate delivery.
4. Deliver — ship it or arrange a local drop-off.
