Welcome
to the 3rd Annual Miles for Food website.
Our 2008 event was fantastic with two teams, Team Big River
Running Co. & Team U.F.T., each covering the full 66
miles. Team fundraising efforts yielded just under
$9,000.00 for Operation Food Search making our event their
largest privately sponsored fundraiser to date!
Many thanks to all participants, volunteers and donors who made
our event such an enormous success. Without your
support Miles for Food would not exist!
Now on to 2009.
