From the Organizer
At Army of the Kind, our mission is simple but urgent: that no child goes hungry in the communities we serve around the world.
When you lace up your shoes for the Nourish the Nations 5K Color Run/Walk, you are doing more than running a race — you are running to nourish empty bellies into health. Every step you take helps provide life-saving nutrition, hope, and support to children and families who need it most.
Your participation directly helps our team reach more children, expand into more communities, and continue the fight against child hunger. Together, we are running for lives, for futures, and for a world where hunger no longer steals childhood.
Thank you for running with purpose. Thank you for choosing compassion.
