The Cedar Valley Running Association

 

We promote and advance the running lifestyle in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area.  We sponsor several area annual running events, including the biggest and most prestigious local race held in the area, the Alliant Energy 5th Season 8k. CVRA sanctions eight races per year, organizes various group training runs & hosts social events. We welcome runners of all skill levels.

We want you to join us! Register today.

Race/Event Sponsorship Application 

In 2010, CVRA will be sponsoring teams running the Great River Ragnar Relay in August (Male Masters Team, 12 person 193 mile relay) and Relay Iowa in May (Co-Ed open team, 6 person 338 mile relay). Check back on this website and the newsletter for information about these races.


Each year the CVRA wishes to sponsor up to two (2) events at up to $250 each.  This might involve in-kind donations to an event sponsored by a non-profit or t-shirts for a local group traveling to a running event.  The shirt and/or event must clearly display “CVRA”, the CVRA logo or “Cedar Valley Running Association.” 

Timeline:

  • The deadline for 2011 is December 31, 2010.
  • The CVRA board will consider all applications and notify the recipients at the CVRA Freeze Fest 5k & Social

Sponsor Spotlight

 

Running Wild
 

CVRA would like to give a big shout out to Running Wild in Cedar Rapids and Coralville. They offer a 10% discount to all CVRA members on their purchases. Running Wild knows that everyone's feet are different so there is no single "best shoe" for everyone. They are also runners, so they know that the way you are built, the surfaces you plan to run on, and the shape of your feet determine your "best shoe" for running. They have an awesome store, a great staff that really knows their stuff, and we hope you will visit them today.
