HISTORY

Members of Redeemer Church and the Ardmore Neighborhood Association founded the Ardmore 5K in 2001. Our goal was to strengthen the community by uniting for a meaningful cause: fighting hunger. More than $300,000 has been donated to Second Harvest Food Bank $26,000 last year alone which has provided more than 2 MILLION meals to our neighbors. In 2013, the addition of a 10K led us to rename the Ardmore 5K to the Run Against Hunger the RAH! The expanded event has drawn more participants, generated more excitement and raised more money and awareness of the fight against hunger.
