All donations, and a portion of race proceeds will be given to the Let Me Run program in the Corridor region. Let Me Run is a nonprofit wellness program that inspires boys to be themselves, be active, and belong. Twice a week for seven weeks, trained volunteer coaches lead an elementary or middle school team through practice. Designed to amplify confidence, self-expression, and respect for others, each practice includes a lesson that incorporates running, games and activities. Each fall and spring season culminates in a 5k race festival that celebrates the boys’ personal growth.
The Corridor region Let Me Run program uses Miles in the Maize as one of their two 5K races for the fall season. Your donations and race proceeds are used to give the free and discounted entries for the participants and their families.
