One of the best parts about track and field is there is an event for everyone. No athlete should be prevented from participating in the sport of track & field because they do not have the equipment to do so.

Recovered Running aims to provide athletes and schools with the necessary equipment to begin or continue their athletic careers. We work with individuals, businesses, and organizations to source gently used clothes and gear to redistribute to local schools in need. In keeping this supply chain local, we cut down on waste and emissions, and provide people within a community a support system.

Throughout his professional career, Ben saw the vast amount of clothing and gear he accumulated and realized the opportunity to give back. EMP connects with all levels of athletes, community organizations, retailers, and brands to collect donations. We then work directly with coaches, programs, and athletes to provide these donated resources across several states. So far in 2023, we’ve collected over 10,000 items that will be redistributed to athletes to support their athletic careers.

If you have an interest in donating new or gently used items we're excited to announce a public donation bin within the Eugene, Cascades, & Coast Headquarters, conveniently located in downtown Eugene, Oregon. 754 Olive St, Eugene, OR 97401 Open Monday - Friday 8 am - 5 pm.
