The Lincoln Motor Company is lending its support to Women’s Health magazine’s third annual RUN10 FEED10 10K race series that helps fight domestic hunger nationwide.
Lincoln is the presenting sponsor of RUN10 FEED10, which has delivered more than 2.5 million meals to support the cause. To kick off this year’s race series, the all-new 2015 Lincoln MKC small premium utility was the pace car at the flagship timed race in New York City on Sept. 21. The MKC will lead timed races in Chicago on Oct. 19, and in San Francisco on Oct. 26, in addition to fun run events scheduled to take place across the country.
Women’s Health – the fastest-growing international women’s magazine with a global audience of 35 million readers – and FEED, the organization founded by philanthropist and social entrepreneur Lauren Bush Lauren, are collaborating for the RUN10 FEED10 10K race series.
“The concept is simple – run a 10K and provide 10 meals for those struggling with hunger in your community,” says Laura Frerer-Schmidt, vice president and publisher of Women’s Health. “The money from the registration and fundraising efforts will go to support the nearest metropolitan-area food bank.”
In addition to the timed events, upcoming RUN10 FEED10 fun runs will take place in:
Runners who do not live in one of the Women’s Health host cities can participate by registering on Run10Feed10.com and using the RUN10 FEED10 training app, created by WalkJogRun, to plot their own course and run their own 10K anytime.
“The RUN10 FEED10 race series is a tremendous way for people to get involved in the fight against hunger, and Lincoln very much supports these types of community-based initiatives,” said Dave Rivers, manager, U.S. Lincoln marketing communications. “We’re proud to have our all-new Lincoln MKC leading the way for these dedicated individuals who are running for this outstanding cause.”
