This entertaining event will raise funds that will directly be funneled to our community. You may already know that the state of Oklahoma is in the higher bracket of obesity with rates near 40% for both children and adults. With this growing trend of obesity, we will see more illness, more time missed from work, and increased healthcare costs. There is also a trend of underserved school districts across the country eliminating physical education programs. We can’t expect our children to fight a growing epidemic of obesity if we won’t allow, encourage, and equip them to participate in daily physical activity. Studies show that daily activity improves medical conditions related to obesity, mood, productivity, and much more. It is time to change these negative trends in Oklahoma.

We have come together in an effort to positively impact lives in our area. Our goal in conjunction with Under Armour, Fields and Futures Non-Profit Organization, and you is to help put physical activity back in our schools. The money raised from the GUTCY Life Run will be donated to Fields and Futures and 100% of those funds will go toward the revitalization of high school and middle school sports fields in Oklahoma City Public Schools and promoting running programs in OKCPS.
GUTCY Life stands for Get Up To Change Your Life, which we believe encompasses what it truly takes to live a healthy life. Everyone has what it takes inside of us to live healthier and more productive lives, sometimes it just takes GUTS to get started. Working together to achieve our goals will help us as a community to start improving our lives and the lives of others.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 this first year of the GUTCY Run. Your support matters and goes a long way.
