Our Club has a goal to raise money for the launch and maintenace of the Shoe Program. The mission of The Shoe Program is to ensure that every young athlete, regardless of their financial background, has access to high-quality running shoes and gear that are correctly fitted to their needs. We believe that no athlete should be held back by the lack of proper equipment, and we are committed to making a difference in the lives of these young runners. The Orange Runners Club wants to ensure that an athlete’s first experiences in Cross Country and Track & Field are positive to develop future life-long runners, which aligns with the mission of the ORC.

Partnership with Confluence Running, Hudson Valley:
In pursuit of this mission, we have partnered with Confluence Running Hudson Valley, a leader in providing high-quality running gear and expertise in shoe fitting. Their dedication to the community and their proficiency in ensuring the right fit for every runner make them the ideal partner for The Shoe Program. Together, we are working to ensure that the next generation of athletes can chase their dreams without restraint.
