Event Description

The covid-19 pandemic and the resulting economic challenges have hit the most vulnerable sectors of our society the hardest. Members of Kerala Association of Delaware Valley (KADAVU) - a 501 (c)(3) non-profit community-based volunteer organization - are organizing a Virtual 5K/1K Run-Walk to raise funds for the community charity efforts.

What is a virtual race?

A virtual race is one that can be run or walked from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on a trail, on a treadmill, on a track, or around your quarantined living room! This is your own race, at your own pace, at whatever time you decide. All participants will do a 5K or 1K Run-Walk in their own homes or backyards, following the social distancing guidelines. The event starts at 8:45 am and ends at 3 pm. 

How does it work?

First, pick your route or favorite treadmill. The route needs to be the 5k distance or 3.1 miles. Once that is settled, you will run, jog, or walk the distance. Make sure to track the distance and time yourself! This is a great way for new runners to start to experience endurance racing, so grab a few of your running buddies and get out there and complete the Virtual Love Run.
