COMMUNITY GIVING 419
At Run Toledo (a Dave’s Running company), we are all dedicated to the Dave’s mission of supporting the 419 community that we call home. We were born and raised right here in Northwest Ohio and our focus is on treating everyone like family. That is why we partner with local schools, nonprofits and social services at our premier events and donate much needed funds to support their programs that help make the 419 better for everyone.
By creating events that provide unique settings, premium perks, an atmosphere of excitement and that are presented with our genuine Midwest hospitality, we are able to attract a wider audience and create greater awareness and fundraising sources for each charity partner. Because Run Toledo produces large events for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy, we were able to donate nearly $50K in 2023 alone.
Dave’s Running Shop (locally owned and operated since 1973, the oldest running store in Ohio and Top 50 Running Stores in America) also supports hundreds of other local races and school cross country meets each year — providing each with valuable resources for creating awareness for their cause. These races range in size from less than 100 to a few hundred, and are spread all over the greater Toledo area; including Findlay and others.
