Run2EndHunger is a inaugural family-friendly event taking place on Saturday, April 11, 2026 designed to raise awareness about hunger and the powerful connection between mental, emotional and physical health.
A growing body of research shows that mental and emotional challenges such as depression, anxiety and chronic stress significantly increase the risk of preventable physical health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes and stroke (CDC). By addressing the mind-body connection, we can build healthier families and stronger communities.
Run2EndHunger invites individuals, families and community partners to come together for a meaningful day of activity, education and hope, because true wellness includes both the body and the mind.
Our mission with Run2EndHunger is to bring awareness to nourish ourselves physically and mentally. Our goal is to connect with people battling with physical hunger and mental issues. Together we run/walk for fitness and fun. Lace those shoes and walk or run alongside your family…
This event is also available for virtual participants! See below for more details. In-person and virtual runners need to sign a mandatory waiver at registration.
