Event Description

In the spirit of both the holidays and the weird times we're experiencing, we present the It's a Wonderful Quarantine Virtual 5K. Times have been tough. We've gotten all too familiar with our pets and have to make sure we're wearing more than just a towel when we walk past our kids' zoom classrooms. Our races have been canceled left and right.  So why is This a Wonderful Quarantine 5K any different? When life gives you lemons you make lemonade. So, when life gives you COVID-19, you run in the virtual It's a Wonderful Quarantine 5K.  We hope you'll squeeze yourself into that musty Santa suit and join us (in a spiritual and virtual sense) for a delightful holiday event. You can run, walk, or roll yourself for 3.1 miles, Santa hat flopping madly. What joy!

This is a virtual event, though you're welcome to drag your grumpy children and unkempt neighbors with you (with all proper precautions). Complete a 5K any time in the month of December and we'll send you a SWEET medal. Well, we'll send you the medal regardless; but walking back and forth to the fridge for a month undoubtedly adds up to 3.1 miles, right?

There are even prizes! And no, we don't expect you to run fast. The prizes are for the best costumes! Categories are best male, best female, and best group. Post your photo or email it to us at southerntierrunningclub@gmail.com. We'll send out a poll so that you can vote on your favorite! You don't have to worry about a secret shadowy board deciding. You'll get to decide, unless nobody votes, then we will. Medals will arrive in January, once the elves have finished fabricating them in their workshop in the North Pole.

There is an option to donate on the main registration page to one of three charities: Toys for Tots, The Arctic League of the Southern Tier, or the ASPCA.  Please do not donate on the donations page during your registration.  We'd like you to utilize their own donation web sites, with their links on the main page under the donation tab.  Thank you for considering a donation to one of the three options. 

Stay safe and happy holidays!
