Rockford Road Runners, as well as all of the running community, wishes to thank all of the businesses listed here for their support of the sport of running. We ask that runners take time to thank and show appreciation to the staff and management of these businesses for their support.

Running businesses:
  • are engaged with the running community
  • they may host group runs or offer discounts to local running club members
  • are willing to serve as a pre or post run meeting spot
  • share their parking lots during non-business hours
  • allow runners to use their bathroom facilities as needed
  • serve as safe places that runners can stop at if they need to use the phone or get out of unsafe weather, or fill a water bottle to prevent dehydration
  • support area events through race sponsorship's including donations, publicity, volunteers, etc. 

Participating businesses are one way to help prove that our community is deserving of the Runner Friendly Community designation granted by the Road Runners Club of America. RRR is working to help Rockford reach that designation.
