Built for the Next Generation: Take One Sportswear Partners with Raleigh Crazy Running
RALEIGH, NC — October 28, 2026 — Every athlete's journey starts somewhere. For some, it's a championship game or a packed stadium. For others, it's their first time stepping onto a track, discovering the joy of running, or realizing what they're capable of.
For Take One Sportswear and Raleigh Crazy Running, that's where the story begins.
Take One Sportswear is proud to highlight its collaboration with Raleigh Crazy Running, a youth athletic development program dedicated to introducing young athletes to running, building confidence, and creating positive experiences through movement. Through the collaboration, Take One has helped outfit approximately 135 young runners with custom performance apparel, bringing the brand's commitment to the next generation of athletes to life.
More Than Running
At the heart of Raleigh Crazy Running is Briana Arnold, a Raleigh native, former collegiate student-athlete, and graduate of Winston-Salem State University.
Arnold's journey with Crazy Running began during her college years, when she served as a coach and discovered the impact that mentorship, encouragement, and athletics could have on young children.
What started as an opportunity to coach eventually became something much bigger: a mission to bring those same experiences back to her hometown.
Today, Arnold leads Raleigh Crazy Running with a focus that extends beyond speed, endurance, and athletic performance. The program introduces children to the fundamentals of running while developing confidence, teamwork, discipline, and a genuine love for physical activity.
Through training sessions, games, and positive coaching, young athletes learn that progress isn't always measured by how fast they finish, but by the courage to start, the willingness to improve, and the confidence they build along the way.
A Shared Commitment to the Next Generation
For Take One Sportswear, the collaboration reflects a belief that meaningful investment in sports begins long before the spotlight.
While the brand continues to expand its presence across grassroots, collegiate, and professional athletics, supporting programs like Raleigh Crazy Running remains central to its purpose.
By providing custom apparel for approximately 135 young athletes, Take One is helping create a shared identity for a program built on movement, community, and personal development.
The apparel represents more than what the athletes wear. It represents belonging — the feeling of being part of something bigger, standing alongside teammates, and taking pride in every step forward.
It's a reminder that every level of sport deserves to feel valued.
Where the Future of Sport Begins
The next generation of athletes isn't waiting to be discovered. They're already developing the habits, relationships, and confidence that will shape their futures.
Some will go on to compete at higher levels. Others may discover passions beyond organized sports. But the lessons learned through movement, perseverance, and community can stay with them long after their final race.
That's what makes organizations like Raleigh Crazy Running so important.
For Take One, the opportunity to support those experiences reflects the same philosophy that drives the brand's work with programs around the world: creating access to quality athletic apparel, celebrating the people who make sports possible, and helping organizations build identities that reflect who they are.
As Take One Sportswear continues its growth, collaborations like Raleigh Crazy Running highlight a commitment to supporting athletics at every stage — from the first steps on a track to the highest levels of competition.
Because before there are champions, records, or packed stadiums, there's a child discovering what they can do.
And every journey deserves a starting line.
United By The Game.
