About RUN Varsity

RUN Varsity is the P3R program designed to support, educate, and encourage teenage athletes. While middle schoolers aspire to run for their school’s varsity team and high school runners compete at the varsity level, all teenagers are welcome at RUN Varsity events. RUN Varsity is the natural transition following P3R's award-winning youth program, Kids of STEEL. RUN Varsity does not interfere with athletes' normal school sports seasons, but in turn supplements them with summer events, grant opportunities, and educational components such as webinars, videos, and in-person events.

The P3R Movement Grant is a unique grant opportunity that is open to any youth (individual and youth organizations serving students under 19 years of age), regardless of sport or activity. If you need assistance with purchasing equipment, registration fees, hosting events, or anything that will help you and/or your team MOVE, this opportunity is for you!

In 2024, P3R awarded $14,000 in grants to 20 schools and youth-serving organizations.
