WHAT IS THE RUN ACROSS HAITI®?

The Run Across Haiti is a 200-mile run from the northern tip of the country to its southern end created to show that Haiti is not a place to be feared or to be pitied.

Due to COVID-19 and the current political unrest in Haiti, we will postpone our Run Across Haiti until we can safely resume our epic journey to explore the beautiful country with our runners, crew, team, and families in Haiti. Until then, join us for our Move Across May in May 2024.

Why run across the entire country?

We recognize that running a ridiculous amount of miles in one go can lend us a larger platform to talk about forgotten places like Haiti and seemingly unsolvable problems like extreme poverty. And so, we bring a team together each year, we put one foot in front of the other, and we keep moving until we hit the finish line. Did we mention it's a 200 mile adventure run over 8 days?

We hope the run sets a foundation for how we think a dialogue about poverty should begin. When you’re in the middle of it at 5mph, you learn that no matter who we are, we all want the same things: a roof over our heads and for our kids to have a better life than we did. If people cross the finish line having felt that, even for a second and even if they never come back, we’ll have done our job.
