Event Description

Join your colleagues and participate in The Thoracic Surgery Foundation's Virtual Fun Run & Walk during the week of STS 2021. Participants can run or walk this virtual 5K anytime during the week of January 22-31, 2021. Post your results on the runner dashboard. You can choose to participate solo, or run as a team. The race is sponsored by our friends at Medtronic, and all proceeds will benefit TSF cardiothoracic surgery research programs. TSF is the charitable arm of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS).

Share your running photos with the cardiothoracic surgery community and use the following hashtags: #STS2021 and #TSF5K.

What is a virtual run?

Virtual races give runners and walkers the flexibility to complete the race at any time, at any pace, and in any location. Complete the race inside on your treadmill, or outside in your neighborhood!

Track your time and compete with others or complete the race on your own. You can even just register to receive a race t-shirt. The choice is yours! We encourage all levels of participation.

In the time of social distancing, the virtual TSF Fun Run & Walk is a great way to stay active, engage with the CT surgery community, and participate in some healthy competition while supporting TSF research programs.
