About this Event
Stride to Serve 5k-ish walk/run and Food Packing
Stride to Serve is a simple idea: move your body, meet good people, and leave a place better than you found it.
We’ll start with a volunteer shift at Feed My Starving Children packing food and then a 40 minute run or walk before social time.
No special skills required—just show up ready to move and help out.
We'll meet at 2:15!
Limit of 20 people, register if you're attending!
What We’ll Do
1. Meet & Quick Welcome: Brief introduction to the day’s plan.
2. Serve Together: We'll work a packing shift at FMSC.
3. Brief intro to the run/walk and warm-up. There might be dancing for those who are interested!
4. 5k-ish Run or Walk: Run, jog, or walk at your own pace on a half mile-ish out and back course - three trips is a 5k but go as far as you want, as fast as you want, you've got 45 minutes. 5k is nice but no pace or distance is wrong! The out and back means you'll spend time with other participants no matter what pace you choose.
This is not a race! We will not time you or track how far you go. If you’re happy, we’re happy!
5. Wrap-Up & Connect: A few minutes to relax, meet people, play some games and celebrate a job well done. For those who are interested, we'll convene at Hackamore Brewing.
