Running Revolution presents:

Hustle for Haiti: 4-Mile Towards a Brighter Future

A 4-mile running/walking challenge to support Haitian children with school tuition while bringing awareness to physical health in Haiti.

We will run four miles together, and at the finish line, we will grab a drum and jam together. There's no need to be a professional drummer. All you need is right, and you have a rhythm as long as your heart beats.

Running Revolution Ayiti is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that raises funds through physical activities to support Haitian children with school tuition, proper nutrition, and running gear. The third annual 4-mile fundraising run featuring "DRUMMM" and another local artist.

Let's run towards change this Sunday, January 4th, 2026. Join us as we celebrate Haiti’s 200 years of independence.
