Council Rock North Students To Host ‘Outrace Hunger’ Virtual 5K

NEWTOWN, PA — A group of students at Council Rock North are holding a weeklong virtual 5K race to raise money for the Wrightstown Food Cupboard.

The Outrace Hunger Virtual 5K 2021 will run from Sept. 19-25. The virtual event is free, but Council Rock North’s SHARE organization — Students Helping Area Residents Effectively — is collecting donations on GoFundMe to support the food pantry.

The student organization raised more than $1,500 last year during the first Outrace Hunger Virtual 5K and is aiming “for even greater success this year,” senior Katie Daniels said.

The weeklong fundraiser will feature “Dine and Donate” events at Newtown restaurants, which will be announced on SHARE's Instagram page. The group is also offering “Outrace Hunger Virtual 5K 2021” T-shirts and sweatshirts for sale online.
