Event Description

We can't meet in person, but you can still show your club spirit! The GO FAR Club Spirit Virtual 5K will help you train to run your own 5K and try to win prizes for your club.

Here’s how it works:

• Train at home for eight weeks with our weekly plan- Sept. 21- Nov. 14
• Log your miles at home or on www.runsignup.com/gofar > Results > Submit Virtual Results for a chance to win prizes for your club! 15 minutes of running/walking/activity = 1 mile.

At the end of eight weeks, on November 14, run your own 5K.

Which club has the most school spirit? 

At the end of the eight weeks, we will celebrate the club with the most:

• participants registered
• logged miles
• club spirit — send us pictures!

Students log miles or fitness minutes (15 minutes of fitness = 1 mile of running). GO FAR and club participants will track their miles by following the instructions above (www.runsignup.com/gofar > Results > Submit Virtual Results  then follow Instructions from there).
