University of Cincinnati's Run Against Hunger

We are excited to announce that the University of Cincinnati's women's Cross Country team will be participating in Run Against Hunger’s first-ever Run-A-Thon from home from April 20-26. Run Against Hunger’s goal is to combat food insecurity caused by school closures of the COVID-19 crisis through running. All funds will go directly to No Kid Hungry, a nonprofit organization helping schools and community groups feed kids while schools are closed.

1 in 7 children in America faces hunger, all across the United States, including in our very own community, Cincinnati.

As Bearcats we are always looking to find strength in unity. By doing so, we believe as ONE team, we can make a difference together to help those in need. We would greatly appreciate your support in pledging to donate per mile or making one flat donation.

For example, if you pledge $0.25 per mile and our team runs 100 miles during the Run-A-Thon, you’ll donate $25 to No Kid Hungry, which is equivalent to 250 meals.

During this Run-A-Thon, we hope to help decrease the number of meals missed. It is currently projected that students will miss over half a million meals due to school closures caused by COVID-19. With your help, we believe we can run down that number.

Thank you so much for your support. Stay healthy and go Bearcats!

All running during this Run-A-Thon will follow local, state and federal social distancing guidelines!

All statistics were taken from No Kid Hungry as of 4/7/2020 at 3:47 PM.

All running is voluntary during this event.
