Feeding South Florida, the leading hunger-relief organization in South Florida, will host its annual Outrun Hunger 5K in Palm Beach County in celebration of Hunger Action Day, which takes place on Saturday, Sept. 23. Runners, families and community leaders of all ages will come together to take steps in the beautiful Okeeheelee Park to raise funds and awareness to end hunger in South Florida.
Hunger Action Month, a nationwide initiative created by Feeding America, takes place throughout September and is designed to raise awareness about the issue of hunger in America and inspire others to take action toward ending it. Throughout the month, Feeding South Florida will offer a range of events and activities to encourage South Florida residents to “Go Orange” and engage in various hunger-relief efforts.
Outrun Hunger race day check-in opens at 6:30 a.m., and the 5K will begin at 7:30 a.m. After the race, an awards ceremony and a raffle will take place. Participants can join the event as an individual or a team and conduct online fundraising prior to race day.
Registration costs $25. Registration with a T-shirt is $40. Registration as a “Hunger Hero” is $250. Learn more or register at www.feedingsouthflorida.org/events.
