Run For It 5k 2020

Will you move for something that matters?

This is our question and invitation for you. Each spring, we ask you to put your body, heart, and mind in motion for the Run For It 5k. Over the past 8 years, thousands have responded and participated by moving for things like their well-being, their recovery, their healing, or even in memory of a loved one. Whatever your reason, no matter if this is your first race or your 8th, we believe every step in this journey counts just the same—because forward is forward no matter the pace.

This year on Saturday, April 11, 2020, we’re inviting you to join us once again for the Run For It 5k virtual event or in-person at our local 5k in Satellite Beach, Florida, to help raise funds in support of TWLOHA’s mission.

Host A Meet-up For The Virtual 5k!

Participating in the virtual 5k doesn’t mean you have to do it alone! Meet-ups are simply small groups of people that will complete their 3.1 miles together. If you want to create a meet-up in your town, you can do so by becoming a Meet-Up Captain. Captains set the time and location of the meet-up and rally their community for this event.

Here’s how it works:

You’ll receive a unique code that helps you recruit friends and family to join your meet-up team. Your team members will receive 15% off their Virtual 5k packs when they use your code at checkout.
When three or more people use your code, you’ll receive a TWLOHA Online Store credit valued at $25. You can use this store credit whenever you want! Treat yourself.

All Captains receive:

Social media promo images to help recruit and share your race-day experience.
An exclusive 5k pin to commemorate the race!
Instructions on how to create a team fundraising page and ways to help TWLOHA reach our fundraising goal.

To get started as a Meet-Up Captain, fill out the 2020 Run For It 5k Team Captain survey.

Why You Move

“TWLOHA has helped me through some of the worst times in my life, so I’m honored to help—in some small way—to further the cause.” –Hannah Bryant

“Each year that we continue this tradition, I’m given the opportunity to remind my sister of how much she’s loved and how important her story truly is.” –Ashley Kempher

“Our team is running to raise a flag of hope in our community. To start conversations. To embrace those who are struggling and show them that they matter. We’re running to honor those who have left us, and to remind ourselves and others that every breath is life-giving and life is worth living.” –Emily Schofield

“This year I’m running for hope. I'm running for every person who can't. I'm running because I have air in my lungs and shoes on my feet. I'm running for those who need to know: your story is not over. Hope is real. Help is real. You deserve both.” –Nicole Battista

“Depression has been my long-time companion. While I know it will always be a part of my journey, I also know that I need to always be vigilant to do those things that keep me mentally healthy. I control it. It does not control me nor define me. There is hope.” –Suzanne Reib-Smith

“For hope. For love. For better days ahead.” –Christina Hamdan

“My beautiful niece Abbey took her life in 2011. I'm giving so that one day other beautiful people choose to stay on this planet because it does get better. ” –Julie Peters

“If this can spare one person from despair and suicide, it's all worth it! Cam will always live forever in our hearts. ❤️” –Judith Walker
