Event Description

Maryland Gold Star Mothers invite you to join us as we remember and honor our Maryland fallen heroes, their mothers and families with our 2nd Annual Virtual 5K walk/run fundraiser.  

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL RUN AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

If you joined us last year you know the drill but here is a quick reminder:

• Registrants will run (or walk) the race distance at any location they choose (treadmill, neighborhood, local park) between November 8th and November 10th.
• If you would like to be listed in the results make sure you are tracking your time and distance. You can do so with a watch or running app (example: Garmin watch, Strava App).
• Make sure you run the whole distance (3.1 miles for a 5K) - you don't want to do all that work and come up short.
• You will then be able to report your time via text or email (if opted in) or through the runsignup.com result page. Results will be automatically updated as race times come in.
• You can share your pre and post race photos on the runsignup.com photo page.
• A digital bib as well as a finishers certificate will be available to print and/or share on social media.
• Benefits of a virtual run include: no travel, no parking, no long lines at the porta-potty and food line!
• EXTRA benefit of this virtual run: knowing you are supporting Maryland Gold Star Mothers.

Thank you for your continued commitment and dedication of our Maryland Gold Star Mothers. Let's show them all how proud we are to support and honor them, and make our Maryland Gold Star Mothers Virtual 5K Walk/Run Fundraiser great!
