SATILLA SHORES, Ga. – Family, friends, and supporters of Ahmaud Arbery plan to run 2.23 miles on what would have been Arbery’s 26th birthday. The distance of the run is a reference to the date Arbery died.

Arbery was gunned down while jogging through a suburban Brunswick neighborhood on Febr. 23. A father and son who told police they were following Arbery because they thought he was connected to recent burglaries in that area.

The group also asked participants to post a short dedication, message or video with #IRunWithMaud to help lift the family’s spirits.

Arbery was an avid runner, who in his wrongful death, died doing what he loved, according to the group.
