Women’s Health’s wildly popular race
and fundraising event, RUN10 FEED10, is coming back to San Francisco on Sunday, October 27, 2013.

Join Women’s Health Magazine, FEED and its founder, Lauren
Bush Lauren,
and thousands of amazing men and women runners in the fight
against hunger.

WHAT: 
             This fall, Women’s Health magazine will host RUN10
FEED10 in San Francisco
. The concept is simple: run a 10K with us and
provide 10 meals for those struggling with hunger in San Francisco.  
Last year, RUN10 FEED10 raised 1 million meals nationwide and we’re setting the
bar even higher for 2013.

Timed 10K races will also be taking place across
the country in New York and Chicago.  People living in Boston, Los
Angeles, Miami and Seattle can participate in one of Women’s Health’s “Fun
Runs” and if runners do not live in one of our host cities, they can still
participate by signing up to run their own 10K. The  money from the
registration and fundraising efforts will go to their nearest metropolitan area
food bank. Download
the official, free RUN10FEED10 app to plot your training course. 



The day will include:



·        
An unforgettable experience running at 10K for
those in need



·        
Pre-and-post race activities including guided
stretches and yoga with a special guest trainer



·        
Tons of freebies, experiences and giveaways from
FEED, Dove, Degree, Lipton Tea, Simple, Kellogg Nourish, OPI, Vaseline,
Birkenstock, Sketchers, Cigna, Ford Fiesta, and more.



WHY:               
Right now, over 50 million Americans are food insecure, meaning
they don't know from where their next meal is coming. The reality is there is
enough food in the world today for everyone to get the nourishment they need
for a healthy and productive life. The other reality is that we can do
something about it. Together, we can make a huge impact in a very simple way.
All you have to do is RUN!
