Description
We are pleased to invite you back again to the Goldey-Beacom College’s Lightning Bolt 5K Run & 1886 Legacy Walk.
This event is brought to you by the GBC Alumni Association and the Track & Field/Cross Country teams.
Run your favorite 5K loop or walk for 1,886 seconds (the year in which Goldey College was founded), submit your results online, and be eligible to win one of a number of great prizes and awards.
This event takes place the week leading up to GBC's Legacy Night!
In order to come together and show support for the Lightning community while social distancing, participants can race virtually from anywhere in the world. Walk or run on the treadmill, through a local park, around the neighborhood, or on the track. Just make sure you are wearing your Lightning gear and tracking your distance! Any time during the dates of November 12th - 26th, 2021, participants can complete their run/walk from anywhere they choose.
You must submit a time in order to be eligible for prizes! Acceptable submissions can include a screenshot from Strava, MapMyRun, Apple Watch, or any comparable app that shows time and distance traveled. A photo of your treadmill and screen is also acceptable.
Be sure to use #GBCBOLT5K and tag the official GBC accounts to share your race preparation and post-race photos and videos on social media!
