Our Story
Road to the Right Track, RRT, is an Allston-Brighton based non-profit organization, initially started in 2013 as an extension of the Police Athletic League. In 2021, it became an independent non-profit.
​
Over the past 12 years, RRT has touched the lives of hundreds of youth and families. The mission of RRT is to empower youth through physical fitness and guide good decisions. Our athletes often share that through practicing and running races, it helps them develop a sense of self confidence and self assuredness. It shows them that they can work hard and accomplish things that they set their minds to.
RRT has a large age range of athletes, from 8-18 years old. Often, our older athletes, who likely have been in the program since they were their age, help the younger athletes, fostering leadership abilities that translate to outside our organization.
Meet The Board
Our board is made up of community leaders from many different areas, from previous RRT members, to parents, to leaders of other non-profit organizations, to local judicial leaders to health professionals. Each member of our board provides a diverse skillset and knowledge base to help RRT grow as a community and organization.

RRT does not have many rules, however we do expect the following:
Each athlete treats their peers and mentors with respect. We do not tolerate shoving, pushing, harassing, name calling or any other disrespectful behavior. Additionally, if an athlete prefers to sit out practice or a race for non-injury related reasons, we encourage them to stay home and join us next time.

-
On the first offense, the athlete will receive a verbal warning.
-
Second offense, the athlete must sit out of practice for 5 minutes.
-
Third offense, the athlete must sit for 20 minutes and a parent/guardian will be contacted.
