The awards program will provide at least sixty grants of $3,500 to elementary or middle schools that want to establish a school-based running program, or expand an existing program. Funded programs must have a commitment of at least 25 students in order to apply and be offered for at least eight weeks. The application deadline is May 15, 2014.
