What is Running Medicine?
A Community Movement Group
Running Medicine was formed in 2016 as a program of Native Health Initiative. We brought together a community to launch a program based on family, having fun and being inclusive of all ages, abilities and fitness levels. The group founders wanted to have a low-cost, family-oriented running/walking program that invoked the idea that running is indeed a medicine for mind, body and spirit. As Native Health Initiative strives to build cultures of wellness in Native communities, Running Medicine has become a critical component in helping lessen the burden of chronic disease that disproportionally affects Indigenous populations.

Running Medicine is based on the understanding that running and exercise are beautiful and potent medicines for mind, body, and spirit for all ages! Youth coaches & parents work together to create a learning atmosphere so athletes excel in sportsmanship, hard work, teamwork, and FUN. Parents are encouraged to run/walk with their athlete as experienced coaches provide workouts to assist youth in learning about the fundamentals of running.
