Your Miles Matter! Join us for Four Miles for Kids @ Home this Weekend!

Every year, the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR) invites the community to join the Four Miles for Kids run/walk to benefit the lifesaving work they do each day. Typically held in late September or early October, the event features individuals, families and teams (wearing everything from superhero costumes to team t-shirts) who walk, run or jog through Richmond’s beautiful historic Northside neighborhoods. But like most things in 2020, this year’s race is going to look a little different. Let us introduce the Elite Contracting Group Four Miles For Kids @ Home Presented by Heartland Concrete – 2020 edition!

This Saturday, October 3, runners and walkers of all ages can still gather together to participate in this truly special event – but instead of meeting up in large groups, participants will be covering the miles in their own neighborhoods.

Here’s how Four Miles for Kids @ Home works:

When? Saturday, October 3, 2020. You can walk/run anytime throughout the day (or month) and the program will be live-streamed on Facebook at 9:30 a.m.

Where? Wherever you want!

How? Sign up at www.chfrace.org and register individually or create your team today! Once you’ve registered, you and your team can qualify for exciting individual and team prizes.

But hurry! There are only a few days left to register!

Time is running out, so we hope you’ll consider signing your family and friends up today. Not only will you have a chance to enjoy the beauty of fall in your neighborhood (while getting some much needed outdoor time after weeks of homeschooling), but you’ll have the chance to be part of the incredible work that CHoR does every day for children throughout the Richmond community and beyond.
