Strides for Schools Runathon 2026

Sunflower Mission’s SEEDS are hosting our third-annual Strides for Schools Runathon, a weeklong event held April 4-12 that allows you to run from anywhere in the world, at your own pace, and on your own schedule!

Many students in rural Vietnam walk miles through humid, mountainous terrain to get to school every day. Strides for Schools was founded in dedication to our students and their families' commitment to education. Every mile we run helps pave their path to education.

How It Works:

  1. Register: Sign up via Rally Up. You can even sign up as a team!

  2. Track Your Runs: Join and upload your runs to our Strava. Please make sure location preferences are on so our team can track your runs.

  3. Secure pledges: Ask your family and friends to donate for each mile you run through your own personal Rally Up runner page.

  4. Run Anywhere: From April 4th-April 12th, run at your own pace, anytime, anywhere – whether on the treadmill, through your neighborhood, or along your favorite trail.

  5. Top the Leaderboard: Runners in the following categories will win a prize:

    1. Under 18 y/o with the most miles run

    2. 18-40 y/o with most miles run

    3. Over 40 y/o with most miles run

    4. Runner with the highest donations overall

Join us in making strides toward a brighter future. Together, we can empower communities and change lives, one step at a time!
