Big Feats Virtual Race supports high-need schools nationwide

In October 2018, SHAPE America and Gopher Sport kicked off the firstever Big Feats Virtual Race, a physical activity challenge designed to engage students, parents, teachers and the community.

For 10 weeks, culminating on December 31, virtual race participants across the country set their own movement and/or distance goals and completed the race on their own time, at their own pace — all while raising money through their personal networks.

Eighty percent of the funds raised by the Big Feats Virtual Race will be allocated to 10 Title I schools that were selected through the SHAPE America Impact Schools Grant Program. These grantees represent more than 5,000 K-12 students in nine states. In addition, one health and physical education teacher from each of the schools will receive a $1,000 stipend from Gopher Sport to attend the 2019 SHAPE America National Convention & Expo in Tampa.
