Event Overview
The Run to Fight Against Parental Alienation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is an athletic event designed to raise awareness for children's relationships with both parents. This event represents the third stage of a broader national initiative to complete 50 half marathons across 50 states, with one race held each month. While the event organizer performs the run in South Carolina, the event is structured as a virtual race, allowing supporters across the country to participate from their own communities.
Participants can choose from three distinct distances:
- 1/2 Marathon
- 10K Race
- 5K Race
Mission and Impact
The event serves as an advocacy platform focused on the impact of parental alienation and family court practices on children. The primary goals of the initiative include highlighting the developmental harm caused by unnecessary parent-child separation and advocating for child-focused court outcomes.
Proceeds from the event are directed toward the strategic goals of the Mothers and Fathers Truly Matter organization. These objectives include the establishment of a national advisory board comprising legal and mental health professionals, the publication of research regarding custody trends, and the creation of educational resources for families navigating the legal system. Funds are used for public awareness campaigns and national outreach rather than personal travel or race expenses for the organizers. People may participate by running, walking, or moving at their own pace in any location. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
