Event Description

The Greater Essex Community Uplift Foundation, in partnership with the Eta Pi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., invites you to join us for a 5K run to promote healthy living. We've all been looking for ways to stay in shape during the pandemic, and here's your chance to show the results! The event will be virtual to ensure the safety of participants. You may run your race at any time between May 15 - May 29 at anywhere you'd like. If you wish, you can submit your time and be recorded as a finisher. Cutoff for race time submission will be May 29 at 11:59 PM.

Registration is FREE! If you'd like to support GECUF's programming, we encourage you to make a tax-deductible donation. If you donate at least $25 by 4/15/21, we'll send you a 5K t-shirt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a race?
This is a fun run, but you're welcome to compete. You can submit your time, which will be posted and ranked on the Results page. We'll recognize the fastest times by gender. You can also submit your completion of the 5K distance without submitting your time. It's entirely up to you.

There is no registration fee, and donations are purely optional. If you donate at least $25, we will send you a t-shirt.
