Event Description
Announcing the 2020 CMSAF James C. Binnicker Memorial VIRTUAL Run
Your health and safety are very important to us. Instead of our annual gathering of runners and walkers at Bob Hope Village, the CMSAF James C. Binnicker Memorial Run is VIRTUAL.
Run or walk from ANYWHERE, indoors or outdoors, from the comfort of your favorite treadmill, track, or trail. Select from the original 9K run, the 5K run, the 5K walk, or the 1 mile kids' run. Run dates: September 26, 2020 to October 10, 2020.
This year’s run is about much more than running.
Supporting "Care for Alzheimer's"
Because September is World Alzheimer’s Month, this year’s run will benefit our memory care wing at our assisted living residence, Hawthorn House, where military widows with Alzheimer’s and dementia reside. Every dollar raised from this virtual event will provide care and support for the residents there. We feel this would make CMSAF#9 Binnicker proud.
Social from a Distance
Although this year’s race is virtual, we’ve added new features to keep the event social and fun. We’ve opened a private Facebook group for participants where you can chat to one another, post photos and videos, compare training tips, and more. We’ve also created some challenges so you can win prizes. The most important challenge is the Go the Extra Mile Challenge.
Go the Extra Mile
The world has changed for all of us, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is our commitment to our residents. Because of these new changes, we have new challenges. We need your help more than ever. We ask for your help by creating a Facebook Fundraiser in conjunction with your run or walk. We call it the Go the Extra Mile Challenge, and we’ll reward the top three fundraisers.
Every dollar you raise will provide care and support for military widows who live on our memory care wing at our assisted living residence, Hawthorn House.
Run or Walk Safely
Please follow CDC guidelines and recommendations from your local health officials when deciding to run or walk with those outside of your household.
The 2020 CMSAF James C. Binnicker Memorial Run is presented by Eglin Federal Credit Union.
