BUT WHY?
In 2020, the F3 men in St. Louis made it their mission to push back the darkness of human trafficking. What started as a virtual 5K turned into a unique weeklong event logging miles together... running, cycling, rucking, walking... whatever.
Men, women and children ages 5 to 95 have joined forces to raise awareness about this issue in our community. In our first six years, 4,527 participants have logged 119,807 miles together, and raised more than $742,000 to help underage survivors at The Covering House.
In 2021, we set an ambitious goal of 24,901 miles to circle the globe together. After falling short in our first two attempts, we crushed the goal in 2023!
This year... we're going to circle the globe again!
