Near + Far 5k

A virtual run or walk is similar to a traditional running event except the participant completes it entirely on their own. There is not a required location nor a mandatory time. A virtual run/walk event creates positive motivation by awarding the participant for their completed activity. Many virtual run/walk events are associated with giving back and creating awareness to a specific cause, charity, or organization.

Although you are not required to, we recommend challenging yourself to complete the 5k all at once! 

However, our event is for everyone, no matter fitness level. You can split your run/walk over a few days if you wish, and it can be any distance you feel comfortable with! The only requirement is that you complete your participation within the allotted dates. 

We understand that many of our participants have different fitness levels, and not everyone may be capable of running the entire 5k. You may choose to complete the event outdoors by walking or running or indoors by use of a treadmill, indoor track or elliptical machine. The goal for the event is to get you up and moving! 

For those that need a little extra time you can also break up your distance into manageable segments. Just make sure you add the full time when submitting your final results.

The only requirement is you complete your run/walk between July 24 and July 31.
