Event Description
The MA Finance Diversity and Inclusion team would like to invite you to join us in a fun run/walk virtual 5k to get outside, get moving, and enjoy some fresh air! Here is how it will work, anytime between June 13th and June 20th, get outside and run/walk a 5k. You will need to time yourself and then come back to this site and report your results or respond to the race text message you will get on race week! For an added bonus go to the finance yammer site and post a picture of yourself from "race day"!
We look forward to seeing your race day pictures! Feel free to invite your family and friends to join in!
If you are looking for a way to put more meaning behind your miles, here are a few ideas:
- Invite someone to do the run with you (socially distant) – especially if that person might not have the privilege of going out on a run and not having fear.
- Pledge a donation for participation in the event or ask friends/family to support and donate for every mile you run to a BSC approved organization supporting racial justice (to be matched by BSC)
- Think about the privilege of going out for a run and acknowledge that it isn’t a given for everyone
~MA Finance D&I Empowering all voices; embracing uniqueness; realizing our potential
*For those looking for an app to use for GPS/timing, Strava is a good one.
