Join #TeamAcorns and make a difference to local children and families
Take on a running event and put your training to good use — whether it’s a 5k, 10k, half marathon, full marathon or something different. These events are a chance to set yourself a goal, follow a training plan and experience the atmosphere of race day with hundreds or thousands of others. From first-time runners to seasoned athletes, it’s about committing to the distance and crossing the finish line knowing you’ve earned it.
Running for Acorns adds an extra layer of purpose to every mile. Every step you take helps raise vital funds to support children and families when it’s needed most. Your training and commitment combine to make a real difference.
