World Runners' purpose is to make a difference in the world by raising funds for programs to end hunger and poverty in the world while advancing lifelong fitness.

The funds raised by World Runners, from donations and by running for pledges, support programs that transform the conditions for women and children in the world in the areas of health, education and financial resources. The education of young women in Africa and microcredit are the two primary programs of World Runners internationally. Locally this event supports the Health Trust of Silicon Valley.
