Races for Youth
Races allow the youth to have fun and be competitive while exercising.
This proposal has been accepted because:
Type of funding: Programs and services (non-capital)
Rough cost estimate: Under $500,000
Evaluation notes:
✅ This idea could be implemented without changing current policy or law.
✅ This idea is within the City's jurisdiction.
✅ This idea doesn't name a specific vendor.
✅ This idea would not incur costs indefinitely.
Justification: A race/marathon could be a welcome addition to our recreational programming. Target neighborhood, activity (walking, biking, etc.), and demographics need to be determined.
Other notes: I'm not the most familiar with the Recreation side of things, but I wasn't easily able to find a race that SPR puts on, so perhaps this an opportunity to expand and diversify our events/programming.
Thank you for sharing your idea. This idea and its evaluation have been forwarded to the budget delegates. They will use this information to group together similar ideas, narrow down options based on community needs, and develop fully detailed proposals for you and your community to vote on in October 2023.
