Event Description

February 26th is Tell A Fairy Tale Story and we are celebrating with our first annual Fairy Tale 5K!  This year’s fairy tale race is centered on Little Red Riding Hood! Each year we will celebrate a different fairy tale.

Plus, at least 15% of every registration to Ferst Readers, an amazing organization that works to  “provide books for local communities to prepare preschool children for reading and learning success.” Ferst Readers strives to improve early learning opportunities for every child regardless of income, race, religion or gender with the philosophy that any child who cannot read is at-risk.

*You can purchase an official t-shirt and/or hoodie HERE.

What:  This is a virtual race. You choose to complete a 5K.  You complete your race on your own and submit your time to us.  Then we ship your medal directly to you.

When: Complete your race any time in February 2019.  Even better if you complete it February 26th!

*Medals will begin shipping out at the end of Janaury 2019.  After that they will ship 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).

Why:  To celebrate fairy tales!


COST:  $20, which includes your medal, official bib and shipping.  Plus, at least 15% of every entry will be donated to Ferst Readers. *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.
