Steve Kinne with the Kinne Group Sponsors 10k Run to Attack Poverty

Steve Kinne with The Kinne Group of RE/MAX partnered with Attack Poverty to host the 7th Annual Run to Attack Poverty in Richmond, Texas.

The Kinne Group has supported the Attack Poverty Organization in the past. The entire team is committed helping the Attack Poverty organization, in addition to many other initiatives within Fort Bend County, Texas.

The Attack Poverty 10K and 5K Races

The 10K race started at 7:30 am sharp with 90+ runners. 29-year-old, Maximo Mendoza of Pearland, Texas took 1st Place with a finishing time of 33:34.6.

The 5K race started at 8:00 am, with hundreds of runners in this group. Another 29-year-old, Sam Hulse of Richman, Texas took 1st Place with a finishing time of 17:54.3.

People of all ages participated in this event. Runners who placed this year were between the ages of 4 and 65. This proves that determination is truly all you need to achieve a goal.

Once the adults had their fun, it was the kids turn to shine.

The Kid K kicked off the competition in this category. Aimed for kids from 5-12 years old, this race is a lot of fun, with friendly competition abound.

Afterward, the Toddler Trot got going. Children aged 2-4 years old participated in this race.

The different age groups help to encourage toddlers and children to enjoy the healthy path of friendly competition. Plus, it helps gear them toward wanting to participate in an event to support a cause. Hopefully the memories they make here will inspire them to continue this act of fitness, fun, and selflessness throughout their lives.

Seventh Year Success

This event that took place on April 21, 2018. It was a true symbol of a large community helping a greater cause.

The 2018 Attack Poverty Run hosted around 600 runners participating in the race. Additionally, there were 200 volunteers and around 100 community members that helped make this event a true success!

Last year, there were about 500 runners, so this year everyone involved in the event was ecstatic to see such an increase in participation.

Attack Poverty Organization

Attack Poverty, the nonprofit that has orchestrated the hometown run is a global organization. Based out of Richmond, Texas, Attack Poverty aims to help break the cycle of generational poverty. Evoking positive community involvement is how this goal is accomplished.
