The Giant Slayer 5K & Fun Run Virtual Race

Help us slay the giants of hunger and poverty by running or sponsoring the Giant Slayer 5K!

Whether you’re in it to compete or just to get outside, your registration fee will benefit Children’s Relief International’s infant nutrition program. The program serves babies and toddlers who are severely malnourished at CRI’s projects worldwide. $300 is all it takes to provide nutrition to a baby for a year. There are 40 babies within our reach in Savane, Mozambique. $12,000 is our Giant Slayer goal! Learn more here. 

Pre-registration includes a race t-shirt. Register by March 7, 2023 to be guaranteed a t-shirt.
