Why 4.7?
The 4.7K distance, instead of a traditional 5K, is in solidarity with the 47 million Americans who faced hunger in 2023. Each year, our distance will be determined by the USDA stats on hunger in the United States. Working together, our goal is to get the hustle to little more from the couch to the mailbox!
