About The Covering House 49,802-Mile Challenge, by F3 Gateway (STL)

Join F3 Gateway (St. Louis) for our 6th annual, week-long virtual activity challenge, benefiting The Covering House. This year, we will attempt to double last year's 24,901-mile goal... that's 49,802 miles! We will need your help, as we attempt to travel around the entire Earth twice!  All participants will track and report their mileage throughout the week. Together, we will log more than 49,802 combined miles of walking, running, cycling, or whatever your favorite activity is! 

The goal of the event is to raise awareness about the prevalence of sexual trafficking and exploitation in the Saint Louis area and around the world. This event is also a fundraiser to raise money for a deserving nonprofit that helps survivors of sex trafficking from all around the country, but is based in St. Louis, MO called The Covering House. The funds raised through this event will go directly to the restoration of survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation.

ABOUT F3 ST. LOUIShttps://f3nation.com/ (for F3 STL Locations, click here: https://f3stlouis.com/

F3 is a national network of free, peer-led workouts for men. Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. Started in 2011 in Charlotte, North Carolina, F3 is now in 48 states with  more than 5,400 scheduled workouts a week through the volunteer efforts of men whose lives have been changed by their involvement with the group.

The three Fs in our name stand for Fitness, Fellowship and Faith — the last of which we define as not one specific religion or faith system, but simply a belief in something outside oneself.

Our workouts …
Are free of charge
Are open to all men
Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
End with a Circle of Trust
We welcome men of all fitness levels to our workouts and have no requirement for membership other than that you show up at the appointed time and place and follow what the workout leader (the “Q” in F3 lingo) does.

The F3 Credo is: Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you find him.
