Sprint, jog, or walk on Saturday, October 3

A virtual 5k is like a traditional 5k—friendly competition, t‑shirts, finish line selfies—only you pick the route. And what time to wake up.

Through every neighborhood, bigger and better

In early June, we ran together in the first-ever Run Across America: 12,000 people raising $164,500 for Feeding America.

Now, we're back with the Run Across America: Fall 5k on Saturday, Oct 3rd, supporting more organizations with a brand-new race app and aiming to be the largest 5k in US history.

Challenge a friend to see who's faster.

Or just stretch your legs and get some fresh air.

However you 5k, you're welcome.

stories from teachers

Running is providing a great stress relief during this crazy time. Thank you for supporting teachers and helping us through this!
Kira, Behavior Specialist in North Carolina

I love my job and miss seeing my coworkers and all the kids. I need some normalcy. We all need a little normalcy in our lives right now and school may have to be that place where it starts. Thank you!
Tammy, Paraprofessional/Aid in Connecticut

I was so sad that I didn’t get to see my sweet kiddos graduate Kindergarten. Waiting for the SWEET day I’ll be able to hug them safely and let them know how proud they make me. Thank you so very much for doing this for teachers!
Valentine, Kindergarten teacher in Texas
