2020 Race for the GREATEST 2 MILE, 8K, 24K*This is a virtual race!
On January 26, 2020 the world lost one of the greatest basketball
players of all time, Kobe Bryant, and his beautiful daughter,
Gianna. Our love and prayers go out to the family members of
everyone that was lost. Kobe was definitely a girl dad and loved his
daughters so much. On the court he was a true legend and to his
family he was an amazing father. To honor Kobe and Gianna, we are
hosting a Race for the Greatest and invite you all to dedicate a run
or walk to their memory. You can choose to do 2 Miles (Gianna’s
number), an 8K (which is 4.97 miles) or a 24K (which is 14.91
miles). We are devastated by their deaths and hope to bring honor to
them by doing what we do best: running and walking and raising money
for a great cause. The medal also includes seven hearts to honor
Sarah Chester, Payton Chester, Keri Altobelli, John Altobelli, Alyssa
Altobelli, Christina Mauser and Ara Zobayan, the other passengers, and
pilot, that lost their lives and whose families are also grieving at
this time.
* Our Race for the Greatest race can be completed anytime between
May 1st (Gianna’s birthday) and August 23rd (Kobe’s birthday).
* You choose which distance you want to complete: 2 Miles, 8K or
24K
* Great for all ages
* We’ll be donating at least 34% of each registration fee
to After School All-Stars
[https://afterschoolallstars.org/who-we-are/]. Bryant was an honorary
ambassador of After-School All-Stars
[https://afterschoolallstars.org/give/donate/], a non-profit
organization that partners with schools nationwide to extend school
hours for low-income children. We chose 34% because that is the sum
of Kobe and Gianna’s jersey numbers (#2 #8 and #24) and it is the
majority of proceeds minus the cost of the medals, shipping, etc. Our
goal is to raise at least $10,000! So far we have already raised
$8,600!
* With registration, you’ll be sent a unique Race for the Greatest
medal and bib
* For a limited time you can order an official t-shirt and/or
hoodie HERE
