WHO WE ARE
Rez Runner believes in a balanced lifestyle.
Health is wealth. We’ve teamed up with industry partners to bring mental and physical health resources to Native Country’s front door. Our Rez Runner events are geared toward promoting fitness and mental stability.
RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM
Historically Native Country has been inflicted with rampant alcoholism, obesity, diabetes and substance abuse at an exponentially higher rate than most populations in the US. Rez Runner aims to end this vicious cycle. Approximately 4 in 10 Native American adolescents (aged 12-17 years) have a lifetime prevalence of illicit drug use. 10% of Indigenous Americans have a substance use disorder. approximately 37% of American and Alaska Natives died from heart disease and cancer. An additional 11% were drug and alcohol induced. While diabetes claims 6% of native lives.
OUR SOLUTION
Rez Runner’s greatest weapons are education and accessibility. Our Rez Runner events are geared toward promoting fitness and mental stability. Our goal is to eradicate the sickness destroying our proud people through promoting fitness and mental health. Runners and guests will have access to nutrition professionals and fitness coaches while actively participating in healing events in a positive community environment. We’ve teamed up with industry partners to bring mental and physical health resources to Native Country’s front door. Run for life.
