EVENT LOGISTICS / FUNDRAISING / TRAINING / REMOTE RUNNERS and all the other nitty-gritty Introducing the 5Kevents “RACEiprocity” Community Fundraising Program We invite all local non-profit, fitness groups, or community groups to be among the beneficiaries of our 2022 events. Everyone is welcome, everyone can win, and everyone can build awareness for their cause. We wouldn’t have it any other way. And there is no fee to participate as a beneficiary. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE You can view results LIVE at www.5Kevents.org and click on the race results tab. Remember, this is a chip start, so a person's finishing order via Gun Start will not be the same as Chip Start. The race clock will represent the official Race start time, but not your actual finish time. If your final time, gender, bib#, or other data is incorrect on the final results, please notify the race director using our online correction form. PLEASE, do not interrupt the timing crew during the event. You may submit corrections at: https://5kevents.org/result_correction.html. While results will be immediately posted online at www.5Kevents.org, results will not be official for 48 Hours. This will allow us to make corrections. Race bibs/timing: We utilize a shoe tag system. You must wear your shoe tags and race bib in order to be timed. Those who do not wear them, or wear them improperly, will be disqualified and asked to leave the course, as we will not know if you are included in the race (this is for insurance purposes). Pull tabs will not be utilized to limit person-to-person contact. See the image below for proper wearing. Tie one on the left shoe, one on the right. No tags, no time. Race bibs must be worn and visible at all times. Wear bibs front-facing.

Learn more about our FREE online registration & website platform Would you like us to piggyback your festival or event to attract more people? 5Kevents Market Place / Race Resources / Swag New to running? DOWNLOAD our ZERO to 5K program - Many newcomers to running become discouraged by the difficulty associated with the activity because they start too fast and push too hard. Their bodies rebel, and they wind up miserable, wondering why anyone would possibly want to run in the first place. The Zero to 5K program has been specifically designed to instill a love of running and ends with participating in your first timed 5K. We’re here to help you achieve your goal(s), be it your first 5K, improving your run, or simply offering a resource where you can run with a group that is designed to help each other stay motivated. You should ease into your 5K training plan gradually. The program we provide is less of a running regimen than a walking and jogging program. The idea is to transform you from a non-runner, getting you to begin running a 5K ( or 3.1 miles) and on a regular basis in just 4 weeks. It’s easy to get impatient, and you may feel tempted to skip ahead in the program, but hold yourself back. Don’t try to do more, even if you feel you can. If, on the other hand, you find the program too strenuous, just stretch it out. Don’t feel pressured to continue faster than you’re able. Repeat weeks if needed and move ahead only when you feel you’re ready. REMOTE RUNNERS® HOW TO COMPLETE YOUR REMOTE (aka Virtual) RUN/WALK Register for the race and print your bib (Click on "Manage my Registration" tab above to view all race tools) Complete a 5k, run/walk at your convenience, any time, anywhere within 7 days after the event date.
