On February 23, one year since Arbery’s death, his family and the 2:23 Foundation are hosting a virtual run. Let’s run for Maud.

. Participants can run, walk, or ride 2.23 miles any time from February 23 to March 3, to keep Arbery’s memory alive. Additionally, participants should share their runs on social media using the hashtags #FinishTheRun and #223fdn.

The 2:23 Foundation is committed to engaging, educating, and equipping young Black and Brown children for social justice advocacy through scholarships, training, and leadership opportunities. Those involved in the foundation have been working in the community since June, helping locally in various ways from feeding those in need to helping efforts in Georgia to encourage voters to get out and vote.

“We know the 23rd of February is going to be a tough day—a tough day for the family, a tough day for 2:23,” Vaughn said. “Just knowing that many people are still around and still supporting us, that’s huge.” In addition to a virtual event, the local community will also host a memorial walk on February 23 through Satilla Shores, the neighborhood where Arbery was killed. A candlelight walk will take place to the site of his death, and then Arbery’s father will speak.

I want the men who did this to burn in hell. However, I don't recall him saying he was 'out for a run'....not dressed for a run....no reason to kill him obviously, but let's keep it true. Running from his assaulters is not out for a jog.

Just pretend you're running from casing a house to rob later.
