Feeding South Florida will host its Annual Outrun Hunger 5K in honor of Hunger Action Month September 19. Every registration provides 120 meals for individuals and families facing hunger and food insecurity.

Runners, families, and community leaders of all ages will come together at Okeeheelee Park to take steps to raise funds and awareness to end hunger in South Florida. Participants will also enjoy a Kids Zone, local vendors, family-friendly activities, and more.

Hunger Action Month, a nationwide initiative created by Feeding America, takes place throughout September and raises awareness about the issue of hunger in America and inspires others to take action toward ending it. Throughout the month, Feeding South Florida will offer a range of events and activities to encourage South Florida residents to “Go Orange” and engage in hunger relief efforts.

This year’s Annual Outrun Hunger 5K will be emceed by Noura Salman, Survivor season 39 finalist, founder of superfreshies.com, and creator of the Lean Out Now health and wellness program, as well as Kirk Gimenez, senior vice president at Brickell Capital Finance, two-time Emmy winner, founder and TV host of Xizzle TV, and member of Feeding South Florida’s Advisory Council.

Outrun Hunger race day check-in opens at 6:30 a.m. and the 5K begins at 7:30 a.m. After the race, an awards ceremony and a raffle will take place.
