Miles of Hope 1M 5K VIRTUAL RACE

MEDALS CAN BE PICKED UP ON

AUGUST 31, 2020 at Lake Merritt near Boathouse

EVERY 1M OR 5K FINISHER GETS A MEDAL

Following up with our November 2019 event to honor veterans, NFL Linebacker Tahir Whitehead and Run Life's Course will be presenting the Miles of Hope 5K 1M challenge open to kids and adults.

All net proceeds will be donated to Back On My Feet which focuses on providing a second-chance for those who have fallen on hard times (especially veterans) and need shelter, job training, financial literacy, career guidance and placement, and housing placement within 60 - 120 day time frames.
