Description
With warmer temperatures moving our way, we know that many in our Riverside community would be participating in spring sports, Just Run, or merely getting outside in the nice weather. Our spring activities are taking on a different form this year, but we hope you are all getting a chance to be active every day. We would like to invite you to participate in the Riverside Runs Virtual 5K sponsored by the Flying R Boosters (this is the booster club for middle and high school cross country and track & field).
Get out there and get moving to train for a 5K. The virtual race will be mid May. The purpose of a virtual race is to give you some motivation to keep active during these times when you can't meet, train, or play a sport as a group. Running is an activity that benefits all areas of sport, health, and wellness. Follow these simple steps to participate:
- Register for Riverside Runs - $5 entry fee (benefits the Flying R) Add on a finisher medal for $3 and a Riverside Runs t-shirt for $10. All of those options will be available when you register.
- Keep track of your daily activity click here to print running log (or you can make your own)
- The weekend of May 16 - you pick the day - will be the virtual 5K "race" ...You will set the route for your 5K run. You can measure it out in the car with your parents, use Google Pedometer, or a GPS watch if you have one. Of course it might not be exact, but that's not the point...get close to 3.1 miles and have fun moving!
- A Google Form will be sent out closer to the date to record the total miles you ran while training AND your virtual 5K time.
***Please remember the guidelines of social distancing. We encourage you to participate with your family, but please do not meet up in groups outside of your family to run or train.
Let's get moving Riverside...how many miles do you think we can RUN!?
