JM2Z Virtual 5K - April 18, 2015
The virtual 5K is for those who would like to participate in our 5K, but are not able to travel to West Chicago, IL for the event. Here's what you can do,
- Register online and raise your $300 (or higher goal, see link below).
- On April 18, run or walk 5K anywhere you want. You could go on sidewalks, roads, trails, or even inside on your treadmill. If you need help measuring a route, the USATF has a great tool on their website. Go to http://www.usatf.org/routes/map/ (Type in your city and state, and measure out 5 kilometers).
- Time how long your 5K takes and e-mail us your time by the end of the day on April 18 at jesuministries2zim@gmail.com. Even though you will run/walk in different conditions of terrain and weather, we will post your results along with the results of those in our physical 5K on our website.
- You may choose to do this alone or with family members and friends. Make it fun. Work together as you raise money, train, and complete the event. Make a "mini-event" of it or just keep it low-key. How you do it is up to you!
- If you would like to recruit others to participate with you, print flyers.
- After you register, we will e-mail you a bib number that you can print and wear while you do your 5K.
- If after you raise your money, you would like to receive a FREE JM2Z 5K T-shirt in the mail, please send us $6.00 to cover shipping costs, along with the address you would like it sent to.
- Send us pictures showing how you participated and we will post them.
