Outrun Hunger Continues to Exceed Expectation and Raises Record Amount for the 13th Year in a Row

 Outrun Hunger 5K and 1 Mile charity Run/ Walk took place on Saturday, November 11, 2023. It was another record breaking year raising $32,698 which will feed 726 local families this holiday season.

Today, Outrun Hunger is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, charitable organization and has raised a total of $237,652, feeding 10,513 families in the local community. Best of all, 100% of the donations/registrations are gifted to our partnering food pantries, Hospitality House Food Pantry of Commerce and Open Door Outreach Center of Waterford.
