What is this Run all about?
In 2015, we created the Run Across Haiti® to show that Haiti is not a place to be feared or to be pitied, and to raise funds to accompany families out of poverty for good. It’s a 200-mile, 8 day run from the northern tip of Haiti to its southern end. In 2020, the pandemic pushed us to make a pivot within 2-weeks to take the Run online to continue the critical work the sport of running has contributed to over the years. Over 200 participants took on the Run Across May challenge and the rest is history.
Your Participation + Impact
Across the month of May, we’ll cheer you on as you complete your 200-miles in support of each other and our families. Our fundraising goal of $200,000 will enable us to continue essential services for our families and to support the expansion of our work across landfill communities in Haiti and in countries that align with our partnership with our sister company First Mile. Thanks to the past success of our Run, we are ready to share our model with other landfill communities. To help us reach our fundraising goal, we ask that you raise a minimum of $200 or level up to a higher-impact fundraising amount of $750, $1,500, or $5,000+. Thanks for joining us and committing to 200 in May.
