Questions About Fit & Able
What is Fit & Able Productions?
Fit & Able Productions is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Cary, NC that puts on running events, programs, and activities for the Research Triangle area. Coach Alisa Wright Colopy started our first youth fitness programs in Cary in 1996, and the organization was officially formed in 1999. Our mission hasn't changed: build healthier communities one athlete at a time.
What kinds of races does Fit & Able put on in Cary, NC?
We stage over a dozen running events a year, mostly in Cary, with a few in Morrisville and Raleigh. Most include a 5K and a Fun Mile, and some add longer distances, up to the half marathon. Many also offer a virtual option you can run on your own route.
Do virtual runners get a finisher medal?
Yes. With most of our races, virtual runners get a finisher medal and a finisher gift, so you still have something to show for every mile. Sign up by the race's guaranteed swag date to lock yours in. You'll find that date on each race's RunSignUp page.
Do Fit & Able races support local causes?
Yes. Fit & Able is a hometown nonprofit, and many of our races support a local charity in Cary and the Research Triangle area, so race day does some good beyond the finish line. Each race page names the cause it supports, and our Making An Impact page shares more about how we give back.
What if I can't make it to a race I signed up for?
No problem, that's what our Peace of Mind Guarantee is for. Registrations aren't refundable, but for any reason, up to 48 hours before the race, you can switch to the virtual race, defer to next year, transfer to another Fit & Able race of the same or a shorter distance, hand your spot to another runner, or turn your entry into a donation. Just email info@fitandable.net and tell us which option you'd like.
Can I bring my kids to a Fit & Able race?
Yes, and we hope you do. Many of our races include a Fun Mile, which is a great first race for kids. At events that allow strollers, little ones can ride along once you register them under the Kids in Strollers option. If you're running beside a young child, you'll need your own registration too, so we know who's on the course.
