Event Description

What's a Virtual 5k
To ensure your safety and to practice mandated social distancing, you get to choose where and how you participate in the 5k. Remember you don't have to be a runner to join us! You pick the route, what time to wake up and choose what time to start. Run or walk through your neighborhood and choose your finish line. You will have until October 31st to enter your numbers. Just like that you will have supported a local nonprofit organization that provide services to those impacted by loneliness and isolation, supported A Golden Dream programming, physically challenged yourself, and increased your knowledge on how you can help to alleviate the effects of loneliness.
