Actress and philanthropist Jennifer Garner is nearing the finish line of her “67 Strong 4 Kids” challenge, and Peloton instructor Becs Gentry will participate in a special California-based event with her to mark the occasion.
The 67 Strong 4 Kids challenge is a 67-day commitment to run at least one mile each day in support of Save the Children, the global nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of children through better education, health care, and economic opportunities.
The number 67 holds significance, as it costs just $67 to help bring a malnourished child back from the brink of starvation according to Save the Children. Garner has run every day since April to raise awareness and funds, and now, she is inviting the public to join her for the final stretch.
The culminating event, “67 Strong: Jen Garner’s Final Mile 4 Kids,” will take place in Santa Monica, California on Sunday, June 22 from 8:15-10:00 a.m. The celebratory one-mile fun run or walk will wind through a scenic, traffic-free course, and feature post-run breakfast, exclusive swag, and remarks from Save the Children leadership.
Becs will join her at the event and recently shared her support via Instagram, reflecting on the privilege of being able to “choose” physical discomfort – something that starkly contrasts with the involuntary suffering of many.
Participants can expect a lively atmosphere with group pacers supported by Brooks Running and the Boyle Heights Bridge Runners, as well as opportunities to further support Save the Children’s mission. Garner and her team have already raised more than $500,000, and the goal is to reach $1 million through this final push.
The in-person event is free, but RSVP is required via Eventbrite. The exact location will be shared with registered participants 24 hours in advance. Note that strollers and bikes are not allowed, and minors must be accompanied by an adult.
For those unable to attend in person, a virtual option is available. Supporters can post their own mile on social media and tag @SaveTheChildren, @Jennifer.Garner, and @BecsGentry to take part in the celebration online.
Garner also shared a heartfelt thank-you video to participants and donors whether participating in-person or virtually.
Garner has long been affiliated with the Peloton community. In 2024 she credited Peloton and Becs with preparing her for her role in the Deadpool & Wolverine movie. Not only is Garner a Peloton member; Chelsea Jackson Roberts is her yoga instructor, and the two have previously participated in Instagram Live events together.
If you are interested in attending the event in Santa Monica on June 22, be sure to register as soon as possible via Eventbrite; or get involved on social media if you intend to participate virtually.
