ABOUT 2025 WALK, RUN, RIDE TO THE MOON CAMPAIGN
The Walk, Run, Ride to the Moon returns for its sixth annual edition, merging fitness with fundraising in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. From September 5th to October 5th, participants of all ages can log miles through walking, running, or riding. Each mile helps propel us toward our lunar goal and supports a cause that makes a real difference. We’re thrilled to share that we’re past halfway to our moon mission! With a total distance of 238,900 miles to cover, we’ve logged 150,778 miles so far. This year, we aim to close the gap even further with the support and participation of our dedicated community. In addition to the virtual challenge, we’ll host two in-person events during the campaign. These gatherings will unite participants and community members, fostering unity and celebrating our progress as we work toward our goal. Walk Run Ride to the Moon is more than a fitness challenge — it’s a tribute to community spirit, compassion, and collective effort. With your help, we’re confident we can reach new heights and make a lasting impact. All funds raised through this event will benefit Self-Help for the Elderly, a non-profit organization that promotes independence, well-being, and dignity for older adults in the San Francisco Bay Area. Serving over 50,000 seniors annually, Self-Help for the Elderly provides essential services and culturally aligned programs to enhance the lives of older adults across multiple counties. Your participation not only supports our journey to the moon but also directly contributes to improving the quality of life for our senior community members.
