AUGUST
The "Feed Annapolis 5-miler and 2-mile fun run" will be held on Saturday, August 17th at 8:00 AM. You will help feed local hungry children by doing this fun, five-mile road and trail run throughout downtown Annapolis area. Both the 5-mile road race and 2-mile fun run will start and end at Bates Middle School.
The Feed Annapolis initiative started last year to help the 1 in 6 families in Maryland that are food insecure. Currently at Bates Middle School, over HALF of the 650 students are on government subsidized meals to include twice a week meals for breakfast and dinner. Many rely on meals at school as their primary source of food. Our purpose for doing this race goes far beyond raising money for a cause. There is an enormous need for children to have food right in our backyard in Annapolis! In some places that we run, walk and drive by each and every day, children are going hungry! Through the Feed Annapolis Project, our goal is to provide 10,000 weekend meals for children in Annapolis area schools.
When you register you are supporting the cause by
purchasing 10 weekend meals for a child who is hungry. You will also have the opportunity to pack these meals post-race at Bate Middle School at the Feed Annapolis Post-Race Packing Event.
Sign ups will begin on April 1, 2013
