Today at the 2026 , our incredible Team Red Cross runners are hitting the streets of with purpose, resilience, and heart.
Each mile they run carries a story of service, of family, of overcoming challenges, of community, and of a mission that changes lives every day.

From supporting disaster relief and military families, to championing blood donation, public health, and emergency readiness, every one of our runners brings something powerful to the emblem they proudly carry today.

This morning, they’re running for the families who need comfort after a fire…
For the volunteers who show up when disaster strikes…
For the patients whose lives depend on blood donors…
For the communities that count on preparedness, compassion, and hope.

To Andrew, Brian, Jaimie, Kajal, Kelly, and Megan, and all the supporters cheering them on, thank you for carrying the Red Cross mission with strength, passion, and heart.

We are so proud of you. ⛑️💪
