*THIS IS A VIRTUAL RACE! Join us for our sixth annual Father’s Day
5K & 10K virtual race! Father’s Day is June 16, 2019! It’s time to
celebrate your father the HERO! We will also be donating at least 15%
of each registration to Team Hoyt, which works to build the
individual character, confidence and self-esteem of America’s
disabled and physically challenged young people through inclusion in
all facets of daily life. In the spring of 1977, Rick Hoyt told his
father, Dick Hoyt, that he wanted to participate in a 5-mile benefit
run for a lacrosse player who had been paralyzed in an accident. Far
from being a long-distance runner, Dick agreed to push Rick in his
wheelchair and they finished all 5 miles, coming in next to last. That
night, Rick told his father, “Dad, when I’m running, it feels like
I’m not handicapped.” *For a limited time purchase your official
t-shirt and/or hoodie HERE. What: This is a 5K and 10K virtual run
(or walk) to celebrate the awesome Dads out there! You choose which
distance you want to complete. When: Complete your race any time in
June 2019. Even better if it’s on Father’s Day, which is June
16th! Where: You choose the course and you time yourself
(you’ll report your finishing time to us). Why: Because this is
our way of celebrating Father’s Day and to help raise funds for an
amazing organization: Team Hoyt Cost: The price is $20 and that
includes your medal, bib and shipping. Plus, at least 15% of every
entry will be donated to Team Hoyt. *We are in no way affiliated
with this charity, we like to choose a different charity for each of
our races and are happy to raise funds for them. 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. Run on your own, or with friends! And your medal
will be shipped directly to you. Complete a virtual 5K, 10K, half
marathon and more!
