Why we run

The reality of education in the U.S.

The numbers are staggering. That's exactly why we're running.

$0
in U.S. student loan debt — and climbing.
0
Americans carrying that debt on their shoulders.
$0
average owed per borrower by graduation.
Giving
back 🎓
We're fundraising to give back to an education nonprofit or local charity.

YUPA already helps students earn while they study. With the 5K, we're fundraising to give back — the goal is to direct what we raise to an education nonprofit or local charity in each host city. Details on each cause will be shared before every race.
