Hop a Mile FAQ
QuackBack, LLC presents the 2nd. annual “Hop a 1/2 Mile to Help a Child” relay event. All proceeds benefit WAR International’s orphanage program. Kids, teens, and adults age 3-90 are encouraged to participate.
Why Don’t You Sell Race Shirts?: Our 1st year several teams made their own team shirts, and we loved it so much we decided to encourage every team to create their own. So get creative and express yourself! Just remember the race is a family friendly event.
Can I come if I don't hop? Yes, please come join the fun! Your cost of admission is a pack of unopened children’s underwear or onesies to be donated to the orphanage.
