Organiser's Description
MILES FOR MEALS
_A Pneuma Impact Project in partnership with Support the Cuban People Org_
Go the distance for a neighbor you'll never meet.
A 30-day virtual endurance challenge uniting athletes around one goal: keeping a community fed in Cuba, where food, medicine, and power have all but run out.
11/01/2026 12/01/26 . 30 days
Choose: 70.3 Triathlon or Marathon
Track every mile on Strava
We connect a global community of athletes around one goal: bringing sustained aid to those the world has forgotten. Because every neighbor deserves to be seen and served and loving your neighbor isn't optional. Miles for Meals turns the miles you'd train anyway into action where it matters most.
WHY CUBA, WHY NOW
Cuba is living through one of its worst crises in decades. The economy has collapsed, and ordinary families are carrying an almost unbearable weight. 20 hrs Some areas lose power for up to 20 hours a day, crippling hospitals, businesses, and homes.
Shortages Severe nationwide shortages of the essentials: food, medicine, and fuel.
Daily Basic groceries are increasingly out of reach for everyday families.
OUR PARTNER ON THE GROUND: Pan de Vida
Every weekend, Pan de Vida opens its doors to anyone in the community who needs a meal no requirements, no barriers, just food for whoever shows up. In a country where basic groceries are slipping out of reach, a warm weekend meal can make all the difference.
Pick your challenge
No race day. No pressure. Just you, your training, and a purpose bigger than the distance spread across 30 days at your own pace.
