The Cedar Valley Running Association was founded in 1982 to promote a healthy and enjoyable lifestyle through the sport of running. If you are interested in improving your current level of fitness and meeting the best looking and most interesting people in the Cedar Valley area, come run with us!

The CVRA sanctions six races per year, organizes various group training runs, hosts social events, distributes a newsletter and has a board meeting each month.

Club membership is open to all interested parties including walkers, joggers and non-competitive runners regardless of age, sex or athletic ability. With the membership fee you will receive the monthly newsletter, discounts on area races, and discounts from local merchants. You will also help keep the CVRA up and running. Costs are $15 for an individual, $20 for a household, and $25 for charitable members. The renewal date is April 1 of each year. Statements are issued during February prior to expiration. If you want to improve your current level of fitness and have some fun doing it, contact CVRA Membership chairperson Matt Van Maanen for more information.

The Road Runners Club of America has published "Guidelines for Safer Road Racing Events" for best practices in road race production. It covers everything you need to consider when putting on a road race.
CVRA also rents all the equipment you need for putting on your own road race.

Check out Rainbow Racing. They are a one-stop shop for all your numbers, labels, signs, course marking, timing and t-shirt needs.

The CVRA has decided to give something back to our local community. Each race, the race director chooses a charity and a small percentage of the entry fees are donated to that charity. Examples are the Red Cross, Waypoint and the Mercy Hospice House.
