RVRR Annual Scholarship Program
2023 saw three winners of the Annual RVRR Scholarship: Zhi Yuan 'Jason' Lin from Highland Park High School who will be attending Rutgers in the fall; Kevin Dai from John P. Stevens High School in Edison who is headed to USC; and Percy Singson, from Piscataway High School who is bound for UC Davis. Their stories are inspiring and we are grateful to the generosity of our membership for fundraising and to our scholarship committee for their time and dedication in going over applications and presenting awards. If you're feeling inspired to donate to the fund, it's tax deductible. Find out more here.
RVRR Celebrates Diversity and Promotes Inclusivity
RVRR would like to remind members that we are an inclusive club, and in keeping with our Code of Conduct we have a zero tolerance policy for racism and discrimination. We recognize that running is a freedom that not all can enjoy without fear. So we run Together as One for equity, justice, and positive change within the community.
Code of Conduct-Embracing safety, respect and community!
RVRR strives to be a safe, welcoming, respectful place for you to enjoy the sport of running and the camaraderie of a great community. We believe it’s the best running club in New Jersey. As part of our efforts to strengthen the club’s position, the board has established a committee and has developed a new club code of conduct. The committee follows procedures for addressing any violations to the code in an appropriate and timely manner. An important first step is making sure that our members know there is a way to report violations through a standard, confidential web form. This new form, and additional details about it, can be found here. Feel free also to send any questions, concerns or suggestions about our procedures to rvrrcomplaints@gmail.com
