*Medals and bibs will start shipping out May 1st. After that they

We invite you to join our Social Distancing 6K as a way to help
promote social distancing, as well as help others in great need right
now. Many of us are doing our best to stay home, keep a proper social
distance and do what we can to keep ourselves, and so many others,
protected against this ugly virus. We are all in this
together…but six feet apart! So lace up those shoes, keep six feet
away from everyone else and get racing! Since it’s a virtual race
you will be able to avoid the crowds but still participate in event
with other people around the world! We know that right now is a very
serious time for the world and many are being affected by the
Coronavirus. Our thoughts and prayers are constantly for those that
have been affected and the courageous members of the medical field and
first responders that are on the front lines helping out. Stay
tuned in the next couple of days we will be releasing a medal in honor
of those doctors, nurses and others that are fighting to keep us
healthy and safe. Medals are being produced now and we will start
shipping them out as soon as we get them. Our plan is to start
shipping them out by May 1st! You can complete your race now, or
wait for your gear. Totally up to you!
The majority of proceeds will be donated to charity. We will be
donating at least 30% of each registration to Feeding America
[https://www.feedingamerica.org/about-us/press-room/feeding-america-establishes-covid-19-response-fund-help-food-banks-during],
who has established the COVID-19 Response Fund to help food banks
across the country as they support communities impacted by the
pandemic.
“Our first priority is the millions of individuals, families and
seniors who rely on food banks for help,” said Feeding America CEO
Claire Babineaux-Fontenot. “Our member food banks are always there
to help throughout the year and in times of disaster. This fund will
advance their ability to respond efficiently and effectively in their
communities so that food is not added to the list of worries for
families during this pandemic.” Babineaux-Fontenot added, “We
cannot do it alone.” *For a limited time you can purchase an
official shirt and/or hoodie HERE!

takes 6 to 8 weeks for the medals to be produced and delivered to us
and we will ship them out as soon as we get them). *Medals and

within 2 to 5 days of signing up. Where: You choose the course
and you time yourself (you’ll report your finishing time to us).

*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.
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.
Running or walking these virtual races on your own, or with friends!
And your medal will be shipped directly to you. Complete a virtual 5K
or 10k, or challenge yourself and complete our virtual half marathon!
We have a variety of virtual running events to choose from!
