The ING Run For Something Better program, in partnership with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education, seeks to increase physical activity in students and help fight childhood obesity nationwide through the creation of school-based running programs.

The School Awards program will provide a minimum of fifty grants of $2,000 each to U.S. public schools that desire to establish a school-based running program or expand an existing one.

Awards are available to programs that target grades four through eight in public elementary or middle schools. Schools must design a before, during, and/or afterschool program that will be offered (to the best of the school’s ability) to all students in eligible grades. The program must not be exclusive to participants of one gender and must have a commitment of at least twenty-five students in order to be eligible for funding.

Program guidelines and application instructions are available at the Run For Something Better Web site.
