Virtual 5K FAQs 1. What is a Virtual 5K? A Virtual 5K is an event you can complete anytime, anywhere, as an individual, or with others. Our hope is that folx across Michigan (and beyond) will be Moving Together for Systems Change during the month of August. 2. When does the Virtual 5K take place? We are celebrating all month long, so you can complete the 5K at any point August 1-31, 2023. 3. Where do I run/walk/move for this race? Anywhere that works for you. This Virtual 5K allows you to design your own course and move where it is comfortable for you to do so. 4. Im not a runner! Can I still participate? Of course!

Organiser's description
In honor of August Breastfeeding Month, Michigan Breastfeeding Network is hosting a 5K to celebrate the importance of human milk feeding for Michigan families. OUR THEME FOR THIS YEAR IS FEEDING THE FUTURE IN EVERY DROP.
Proceeds from this fundraiser will go toward supporting the Local Breastfeeding Supporter Meetings https://mibreastfeeding.org/local-meetings. Local breastfeeding supporters serve in local communities throughout Michigan and are at the forefront for birth and breastfeeding families. FEEDING THE FUTURE IN EVERY DROP IS WHAT LOCAL BREASTFEEDING SUPPORTERS DO EVERY DAY WITH THEIR COMMUNITY-ROOTED, EQUITY-FOCUSED CARE FOR FAMILIES. They are listening, supporting, and advocating for local families in order to build an equitable, just, and breastfeeding supportive culture!
Feeding the Future in Every Drop highlights the important work local breastfeeding supporters do everyday to help families reach their breastfeeding goals and feed their families with life-giving human milk!
