BUT WHY?
In 2020, a group of men made it their mission to help push back the darkness of child sex-trafficking in the St. Louis area. What started as a virtual 5K, turned into a weeklong event logging miles anyway we could. Running, cycling, rucking, walking, swimming... whatever floats your boat (as long as you're rowing that boat, we'll count those miles)
Men, women and children ages 5 to 95 from more than 35 states joined forces to raise awareness about a problem in our own backyards. In our first three years, more than 1,500 participants logged more than 46,000 miles. We've raised more than $278,000 to help underage victims at The Covering House.
We set a pretty lofty mileage goal in 2021, but fell short the last 2 years. Help us hit that goal this year... 3rd time's the charm!
