Join the U-Haul Keep it Moving Challenge

The Achilles International chapters in Connecticut, Nashville, and New Jersey are challenging you to complete your best 5K, 5-miler or half marathon as part of the Keep It Moving Challenge sponsored by U-Haul. From September 17 through 19 you can run or walk the distance of your choosing virtually or join the chapters for an in-person Hope & Possibility® race. Proceeds benefit Achilles. All registrants based in the U.S. will receive a t-shirt, cowbell medal and coaster.

“The U-Haul Keep it Moving Challenge celebrates the spirit and community of Achilles. Any member from any chapter can keep moving to accomplish their goals, no matter what the obstacle is in front of them,” says Erin Spaulding, President, Achilles International Connecticut. Members of the chapter are planning to attend the in-person New Jersey race in September.

“Run, walk, roll, crawl. Just keep it moving!” adds Amy Harris, Executive Director, Achilles International Nashville, which is offering an in-person 1M and 5M option for participants.
