Dear john, 

If you’re like us, going outside for some fresh air is a welcome break from the challenges caused by the ongoing health crisis. We have the perfect opportunity for you to get outside and be active: To support our efforts to reach the children and families who are counting on us now more than ever, you’re invited to join our first-ever virtual 5K or 10K run/walk challenge May 15-17! 

In the countries we serve worldwide, children walk about 3 miles to school each day. This journey through varied terrain and weather conditions creates the opportunity to gain an education AND to receive nutritious Rise Against Hunger meals. In honor of the children who inspire us daily, and to continue our organization’s ability to support them, are you up for the challenge of running (or walking!) the distance they walk to school, or to school and back, to help end hunger?

Register to participate in our virtual 5K or 10K, which you can complete anytime between May 15 and May 17, and you’ll receive a special “Go the Social Distance” t-shirt. The top 10 finishers in both categories will be posted on our website. You must register early to receive your shirt before race weekend, so don’t wait to sign up!

Are you ready to Go the Social Distance and make a positive impact around the globe? 

We’re so excited to race “with” you — virtual high five!

P.S. Post your training and race photos using the hashtag #GotheSocialDistance and tag Rise Against Hunger for a chance to win prizes!
