Friends of Night People
17th Annual Putting Hunger on the Run
Saturday April 18 2020 - 10:00 a.m. Start @ Beaver Island State Park main parking lot
The in-person race is cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Help support us and join the virtual race!
The need of our guests and neighbors has not stopped. Friends of Night People will continue to serve as many people as we can during these trying times. We are encouraging runners to make a gift and run the race virtually. Share a photo of you “putting hunger on the run”. Even though we cannot be together this year we still have fun! Putting Hunger on the Run will be back next year! Wear your weirdest, ugliest, most fun running outfit, if you dare, post a photo, and we will host an online pole for the best or worst entry. A special award will be presented to the winner at the 2021 race.
