Event Description

Hate healthcare inequity? Love running? Well, we have got the 5k for you. TeleHealth Access for Seniors is an official 501(c)(3) non-profit with a mission to bring digital connectivity to seniors. During the pandemic, most providers have switched to TeleMedicine but many Americans do not have devices. We thought to connect seniors to TeleHealth by providing them donated devices and free educational resources like guides and tech-support.

This is imperative because statistically many older Americans are  low-income and over 1/2 of older Americans have 3 or more chronic conditions. We have donated over 900 devices, raised $40,000, and have over 200 volunteers working in 26 states as of June 24th!

We're running our 5k over July 11th weekend and we hope you'll join us to walk/run to end healthcare inequity. 

All participants will receive a PDF bib to print and wear for their run! The top 5 runners will receive a $10 gift card to Amazon via their email. The top 2 people in the run/walk category will also receive a $10 gift card to Amazon via their email.

Everyone competing for the $10 gift cards will be required to upload some confirmation of their run time (a running app screenshot, watch screenshot, FitBit, etc). We will provide a link for doing this via email. You must upload the screenshot by July 12th at 11:59pm EST or you will not be eligible for the gift card. Winners should be announced by Wednesday July 15th!
