EVENTS
Death Run Society is an organization dedicated to promoting an active lifestyle while having fun. We will be hosting a variety of events including fun runs, adventure races, 5k's, and triathlons. The main goal of these events is to raise funding for shoes for kids in need. We believe that every child deserves to have proper footwear, as it plays a crucial role in their overall health and well-being. By participating in our events, you not only get to enjoy the thrill of running or competing, but also contribute to a great cause. So lace up your sneakers and join us for some exciting races and activities, and help us make a difference in the lives of children by promoting an active and healthy lifestyle.
