Stride to Serve 5k-ish and volunteering event

Stride to Serve is a simple idea: move your body, meet good people, and leave a place better than you found it.

We’ll start with a session at Feed My Starving Children, then have a 35-minute run or walk and then celebrate at Hackamore Brewing.

No special skills required—just show up ready to move and help out.

Limit of 20, register if you’re attending!

What We’ll Do

1. Meet & Quick Welcome: Brief introduction to the day’s plan.

2. Serve Together: We'll work a packing shift at FMSC.

3. Brief intro to the run/walk and warm-up.

4. 5k-ish Run or Walk: Run, jog, or walk at your own pace on a half mile-ish out and back course - three trips is a 5k but go as far as you want, as fast as you want, you've got 45 minutes. 5k is nice but no pace or distance is wrong! The out and back means you'll spend time with other participants no matter what pace you choose.

This is not a race! We will not time you or track how far you go. If you’re happy, we’re happy!

5. Wrap-Up & Connect: If you’d like, take some time to relax, meet people, play some easy, casual games and celebrate a job well done. For those who are interested, we'll convene at Hackamore Brewing.

Who Should Come?

* Runners and walkers of all levels

* People who enjoy volunteering

* Anyone who wants to meet neighbors and spend time outdoors

* Families and friends who want to do something positive together

* Come alone or come with others, either way you’ll have fun and connect
