2020 APOLLO 13 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2 –*THIS IS A
VIRTUAL RACE!
APOLLO 13 LAUNCHED 50 YEARS AGO ON APRIL 11, 1970. The lunar
landing was aborted after an oxygen tank in the service module (SM)
failed two days into the mission. The crew instead looped around the
Moon, and returned safely to Earth on April 17, 1970. Thankfully the
team all survived the mission. We celebrate the ANNIVERSARY OF
THEIR SAFE LANDING WITH OUR APOLLO 13 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1M 5K 10K 13.1
26.2. Plus, wee will be donating at least 15% of each registration
to the Challenger Center [https://www.challenger.org/]. _In the
aftermath of the Challenger accident, the crew’s families came
together, firmly committed to the belief that they must carry on the
spirit of their loved ones by continuing the Challenger crew’s
educational mission. Their efforts resulted in the creation of
Challenger Center for Space Science Education. Challenger Center and
its global network of Challenger Learning Centers use space-themed
simulated learning and role-playing strategies to help students bring
their classroom studies to life and cultivate skills needed for future
success, such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication and
teamwork. Challenger Center reaches hundreds of thousands of students,
and tens of thousands of teachers every year._ *For a limited time
you can purchase an official t-shirt and/or hoodie HERE!

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL RACE? A virtual race is a race that can be
run (or walked) from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or
walk on the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym or on the
track (or even at another race). You get to run your own race, at
your own pace, and time it yourself. And your medal will be shipped
directly to you. Complete a virtual 5K, 10K, half marathon and more!
