What is Phoenix Racing? 

Phoenix Racing is a powerful initiative of Phoenix Wellness, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to empower at-risk youth by surrounding them with positive adult mentors and introducing them to the life-changing benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle. 

Through running and interactive engagement, we teach kids that: 

∙Self-esteem is earned 
∙Hard work leads to success 
∙True leaders serve their community

We use every race as a metaphor for life, showing our youth that while the road may be tough, it is through struggle that real strength is built. 

Where We Started: 

Phoenix Racing was born in the spring of 2013 from a simple, powerful belief: 
Every child deserves a safe place to grow stronger — mentally, physically, and emotionally. Our motto is “There is no Strength without Struggle.” We teach kids to embrace challenges whether it is finishing their first 5K or overcoming personal obstacles, because every finish line they cross builds confidence for life’s next race. 

Our Impact So Far: 

∙ Over 2,400 children and families have participated in local and regional races 
∙145+ races completed by Phoenix Racing team members 
∙ 15 student-athletes earned scholarships to run at the collegiate level 
∙Participants regularly volunteer in their communities; from food shelters to road 
cleanups 
∙Former McCreary Co. leader Trevor Tucker received the WeCARE award from WellCare of Kentucky for his dedication to wellness and youth mentorship.
