National Run Safety Month

National Run Safety Month

One of the RIA’s core missions is to inform and raise awareness. With National Run Safety Month, we feel it is important to recognize there are different experiences surrounding run safety that we have not yet explored.

Our goal is to foster conversations on the path toward substantive action and productive solutions. 

As we approach the lower light, colder months of the year - running is even more important, but doing it safely is paramount. Join us in supporting National Run Safety Month by sharing the important tips, articles and resources below that you have found useful. Help your customers think about what run safety means for them and all the members of their community.

Member List Policy

We've provided a retail membership list for your reference, but want to make sure that you fully understand the two simple guidelines we've established to ensure that the list is used properly. 
  • Access to the RIA retail member list is an exclusive member benefit, so the list is for your internal use only. The list should never be shared with any individual or entity outside your organization, or outside RIA membership.
  • When you reach out to our retail members, we are perfectly OK with mentioning your RIA membership. In fact, we encourage it. You are also welcome and encouraged to offer special member discounts, but this is entirely optional. If you choose to offer a member discount, an appropriate communication is to say something on the order of "As an RIA member, you can take advantage of your RIA membership discount when you order our products."
What we want to avoid is any type of communication that either directly or indirectly implies an RIA endorsement of your brand or products. An example of inappropriate communication: "We're partnering with the RIA to offer you this special deal...". In short, we work hard to support our member brands, but we have to avoid the issues that could potentially arise when it appears we're favoring one brand over another. That would dilute our mission to support ALL members.
