Event Description

Participate virtually in our annual Dr. Mark Lynn & Associates Stampede for VIPS 5K Run/Walk!  This family-friendly event raises funds for Visually Impaired Preschool Services (VIPS) and features a category of race winners specifically celebrating runners who are blind or visually impaired! 

Choose to walk or run the 1- or 3-mile lengths anywhere and anytime during the month of September. Set up a fundraiser and create a team or invite friends and family to donate. Teams or individuals can even complete the race at one go or over the course of several days. Participants can also submit their running times, in order to be included in the competition for prizes. Each participant in the race will receive a t-shirt and a brailled medal.

Taking pictures and videos are encouraged! VIPS wants to see how you enjoyed the virtual race, whether alone or with a team of family and friends! 

This new virtual option allows participants to protect their health and maintain safety during the pandemic and serves as an alternative for those who are medically fragile. (You don't have to live in Louisville, KY to participate virtually.)
