Description
The International Rescue Committee in Florida is hosting its 2nd Annual Race for Prevention!
-
What is it? A virtual race that calculates miles as YOUR contribution! Exercise like you normally do, record the miles/amount of time via RunSignUp, and that’s it! Your contribution is not only great for your physical health, but it greatly supports our mission for IRC Florida and combatting human trafficking.
-
When is it? The ENTIRE month of January, to promote January as Human Trafficking Awareness month!
-
How do I participate? No need to leave your house to support our cause! This race can be as little or as many miles as you would like to track -- hopefully as many as possible! This is an inclusive race and can be walked, run, rolled (skates, wheelchair, handcycle, bike, etc.), or swum. 🏃♀️👩🏽🦽⛷️🚶🏾♂️🚴🏻 The options add to the amount of people able to join in the fun as does it being virtual, because you can join from anywhere! Whether you are in a different state or country -- all are welcome to participate in our race.

Is there any other way to help out the IRC Florida? While the main goal of RFP Virtual Race is to spread awareness of the issue regarding Human Trafficking as well as support the IRC's Anti-Trafficking efforts in the community, you also have the option to raise funds for survivors through our Venmo account. This is OPTIONAL - the race is completely free to participate in. The Venmo account is @IRC-Florida and the QR code can be found here. Please tag the donation as RFP or Race for Prevention.
What is a virtual race? Great question. It is much like a regular race but instead of going to one place for a designated route on a certain day you can do it at your own pace throughout the month - ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. Okay, so maybe not much like a regular race... but better. 😎 Our virtual race is set up as a challenge: continue logging miles all month long!
Feel free to document yourself during the race and tag our Instagram page to be featured! @ircflorida
