Our Mission

Combatting Childhood Obesity

Childhood obesity is a pressing issue leading to serious health consequences like type II diabetes. Through running, we aim to address this challenge by promoting physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices.

Benefits of Running

Running offers a myriad of benefits, including increased lung capacity, endurance, and lean body mass. Moreover, it fosters social wellness through friendships, camaraderie, and inspiration to achieve personal wellness goals.

Utilization of Funds and Community Impact

Funds raised support vital elements such as event security, park upkeep, and participant amenities like T-shirts and refreshments. We extend our impact through educational events on wellness and running benefits, as well as providing running shoes for underprivileged children, ensuring all have proper gear for healthier lifestyles.
