VIRTUAL RUN FAQ
SO WHAT EXACTLY IS A VIRTUALLY 5K RUN?
A virtual 5K Run is a race just like any other, except there's no official race location. You register for the race and then you run anytime from February 1 - May 1. However, we encourage you to run/walk on the weekend of April 22, 2023 the official Run For Respect date. |
Then just e-mail in the results to Laura Baumgardner at [email protected] when you’re done. Any pictures or stories to accompany your official time are encouraged as well! We especially would like pictures of landmarks in your town or area. Our Life Skills students will be mapping where you are from as a great geography lesson.
