And Keep the Raven Runs Running!
Since 1975, Raven has lived in a modest unit near Miami Beach. Now, bad actors are trying to force him out. If they succeed, he’ll lose his home and most likely, the ability to hold his nightly “Raven Runs,” relied on by so many.
To help cover Raven’s legal fees, a group of supporters led by his partner, Priscilla "Miracle" Forthman are striving to raise $50,000. This money will allow Raven to fight back against the unfair treatment with skilled lawyers and a strong case. If Raven’s generosity has touched you or someone you know, now is the time to help.
LEARN MORE ABOUT RAVEN
A Miami Beach Icon
He’s a global running phenomenon, Miami icon and inspiration to the entire Vacation® company... He’s Robert “Raven” Kraft and he’s run 8 miles along South Beach, Miami every day for the last 50 years. This unrivaled dedication to beach running has earned Raven media attention all over the world, from Runner’s World to ESPN. He’s had podcasts recorded about him, photoshoots dedicated to him and even documentaries made about him. But for Raven, running every day isn’t about the fame. For Raven, these “Raven Runs” are a chance to help people change their lives and reach their fitness goals. Thousands have joined him and benefitted from his coaching and encouragement. Yet because he believes that running should be free, Raven has never charged anyone to participate.
