Inaugural Outrun Hunger 5K
Join us for the inaugural Outrun Hunger 5K Fun Run/Walk, an exciting race through the Florida State Fairgrounds! This exciting event, organized by Hillsborough County Farm Bureau serves as the perfect kickoff to the highly anticipated Farm City Week, while benefiting Feeding Tampa Bay!
Farm City week is an annual celebration that promotes and highlights the vital connection between rural farms and urban consumers. The event aims to bridge the gap between these two groups and educate urban residents about the importance of agriculture and its impact on their daily lives.
The Outrun Hunger 5K aims to raise awareness not only about agriculture in our county, but also food insecurity that is prevalent in our community and highlight the crucial role that agriculture plays in ensuring food provisions for all. By actively participating and supporting this event, you will contribute towards supporting Feeding Tampa Bay’s mission of eradicating hunger and Farm Bureau’s mission of promoting agriculture education.
The race route will take you through the Florida State Fairgrounds, highlighting Florida agriculture industry. You'll find yourself surrounded by a vibrant atmosphere, as fellow participants, volunteers, and supporters unite to tackle the issue of food insecurity head-on. Whether you're a seasoned runner or a casual walker, this event welcomes participants of all skill levels to join a community-wide movement towards hunger eradication.
Not only will the Outrun Hunger 5K be an empowering experience for runners and walkers, but it will also provide invaluable opportunities for education. Throughout the event, experts in agriculture will be on hand to engage with participants, offering insights into the significant impact of farming practices on our local food systems. By fostering this connection between agriculture and our community, we hope to promote a sustainable and prosperous future for all.
Join us for the Inaugural Outrun Hunger 5K on November 2, 2024 and become part of the movement to alleviate food insecurity in Hillsborough County. By lacing up your running shoes, you will not only achieve personal fitness goals but also make a lasting difference in the lives of those affected by hunger.
