How it works

Pick a loop.
Keep going.

Brad and Adrienne are taking on 2.2 mile loops, starting one each hour, until they reach roughly a half marathon. You can make the day your own.

01

Show up

Come run a loop with us, stick around for more, or cheer from the sidelines.

02

Repeat if you want

Six loops add up to about 13.2 miles. Snacks and good company count as part of the strategy.

03

Do it your way

Out of town? Run a virtual half marathon whenever and however it works for you, then tag us.

Why we run

More than
miles.

Back Alley Hustle helps us serve families battling childhood cancer during two Lighthouse Family Retreat service weeks this summer.

We’re running loops, gathering people, and raising support so we can show up for those families with care, joy, and practical help. That’s the heart behind the hustle.
