Plus, raise $200 through your own fundraiser to have your registration fee refunded, and get a shot at winning some awesome prizes for the best sweater pics! Let's hit the ground running together on December 5, 2026—because no one should face hunger during the holidays. Sign-up opens Spring 2026, and your heart (and feet) won't want to miss out!
