As we gear up for a new school year, it is important for our community to go the distance, not just with online learning but with our commitment to prioritizing spaces that enable our youth to be their full selves in environments that support them academically as well as socio-emotionally. This is why we are Going The Distance this August--to help raise awareness and raise funds for local non-profits that are invested in creating safe and rich spaces for our youth EVERY DAY.

The event is a virtual 5k that participants can walk, run, or march at any time during the month of August. Participants can run/walk/march the whole 5k (that's 3.11 miles in total) in one attempt or break up the number of miles to meet their needs/ fitness level (that's the beauty of a virtual 5k; you can customize your experience as needed!).
