The Heart and Sole Virtual 5k by St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund (SCF) aims to enhance the health and well-being of America’s over-the-road drivers while giving participants the chance to support a meaningful cause. Scheduled for June 22-28, this weeklong virtual event offers participants the flexibility to complete the race at their own pace, whether walking, running, or using a treadmill.
According to Lindsey Bryan, SCF’s health and wellness manager, “Truckers keep our economy moving, often at the expense of their own health and personal needs. The Heart and Sole Virtual 5K is a chance for people everywhere to give back, while also doing something good for their own well-being.”
