There's no time to rest during a triathlon. Most of us would get tired just thinking about swimming for .46 miles, following that with a 12-mile bike ride, and finishing your workout with a 3.08-mile run.
The athletes who compete in these endurance events use every ounce of energy they have to make it across the finish line, and that's why race organizers always make sure to have plenty of food of beverages waiting for them. No matter how exhausted the competitors may be, however, there is ALWAYS plenty of snacks, water, and sports drinks that get left behind. And too often, what's left over simply gets thrown away. Over the past four years, we have made it a priority to rescue as much of this perfectly good food as we possibly can.
On October 15, Coleman Worldwide Moving became the latest member of our network to join our rescue efforts when they recovered more than 3,000 pounds of food and beverages from the Lifetime Tri San Diego Triathlon. Coleman delivered all of the donations to Feeding San Diego, which serves more than 63,000 children, families, and seniors every week.
In 2017 alone, Move For Hunger has rescued nearly 155,000 pounds of non-perishables from races all across the country. That's the most our network has ever recovered during a calendar year.
Thank you to the team at Coleman Worldwide Moving for being part of the solution. Learn more about food waste and how you can help.
