Thank You for How You 5K!

Thanks to our 29 Virtual 5K-ers for raising more than $4,000 in donations and registration fees during our first-ever Virtual 5K! That's an awesome result for a brand new event, and we're so grateful for the support. Half the fun of a virtual event like this is seeing how folks took a very broad instruction—5K total distance within a 5-day period—and created their own experiences. 

Bethany Sanders and her daughter joined in from the United Kingdom, where Bethany says they "had a lovely morning run along the river Thames from Christchurch meadow in Oxford downstream towards Sandford Lock before looping back to her boathouse where she had rowing training."

Elizabeth Arend Dutta walked a Dallas lake to get her miles in, accompanied by her sister and favorite godpuppy/social media influencer.

Sri and Stephanie Narayanan counted their steps to and from brunch in downtown Silver Spring for their 5K. They highly recommend breaking up all athletic endeavors with breakfast pizza.

A special thank you to Andrea Chomistek, who raised the most money and had the highest number of supporters for an individual participant. Thanks, Andrea!

This year's event may be over, but plan to join us in September 2023 for our second-annual Virtual 5K!
