Milk hopes to bring awareness to this discrepancy starting with 26.2 – the numeric distance of a marathon. It’s the same distance for everyone no matter the gender.

Every Team Milk member’s registration fee will be matched (up to $600K USD) as a pledge towards Girls on the Run, for future marathon runners.
