We’re running 13.1 miles to celebrate turning 40 with 4 (mostly) functional knees between us, and to raise money for One World Project.
We’re so lucky to be part of the One World Project community. It’s an incredible school, and the teachers and staff there have gone above and beyond to keep our son and the rest of the kids there learning, growing, and safe throughout the pandemic. All the extra safety measures and other considerations come at a big financial cost, which is why we’re running the Brooklyn Half Marathon and helping raise $50,000. If you’re able to give, please give what you can. It will ensure OWP’s programs can continue without cutting any corners.
THE EVENT
On April 24th, 2022 we will join thousands of half marathoners for an epic running journey.
The iconic new route starts in North Brooklyn and winds around the waterfront taking you under the historic Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridges. From there, the route heads up the grand concourses of Fulton Street & Flatbush Avenue before passing through Grand Army Plaza and into historic brownstone Brooklyn. We will turn into Prospect Park at mile 10 to complete our 13.2 miles.
THE CAUSE
With love and care we have built a nurturing school and community center committed to learning. We want to sustain what makes OWP so special even in the midst of a pandemic and we want to grow our scholarship fund so that OWP is accessible to more families. Together we’ll be working to raise $50,000.
We truly appreciate anything you are able to give.
On Saturday, March 21 we’ll be running or walking the Brooklyn Spring 5K, 10K a wonderful event that will allow all our team to pick the race that is best for them.
Friday, April 24 is La Vuelta. We’ll gather at One World Project and the kids (and some grownups) will run, walk or scoot along Vanderbilt, down East 4th, along Greenwood Avenue, and up East 3rd. After the loop, we’ll gather on the patio for a party with upcycled medals for all participants. In Spanish, la vuelta means loop, like the one we’ll do around the block. Vuelta also means return. If your children have grown and you are no longer part of our preschool or after school program please consider La Vuelta an invitation to return to OWP for a visit. We would love to see you!
