The first event in our Virtual Fun Run Series, the Mother’s Day 5k, begins next Sunday, May 9th at midnight – that’s 12am, 0000 military time, or 0:00 on the 24hr clock 😊

(We have had a few people mention the start time could be confusing…it’s safe to say, you can go to sleep – you do have a full seven days to complete your 5km run!)

The Details:

When:  You have from 12am, Sunday, May 9th to 11:59pm, Saturday, May 15th  to complete the fun run and submit your results

Distance:  5km run/walk/jog in one outing, or over the course of the week

Where:  Choose a route that makes you happy!

For families:  you can submit one email, but please list all family members’ full names, so that each finisher will be entered into the draw for Mother’s Day 5k prizes.

We have some great draw prizes lined up, including two $50 gift cards for Hunniford Gardens!  At this time, we’d like to give a HUGE shout out to IRL Supplies and TDB Consultants for their Diamond Level sponsorship of PGRR’s Virtual Fun Run Series.  Their generous donations will go towards supporting other local businesses over the course of the series.

All finishers will be eligible for the event draw prizes and will have one entry into our grand prize draw in October.

While we can’t run together at this time, we’re looking forward to connecting with you via social media.  Join us on Facebook @Prince George Road Runners Club, on Instagram @pg_roadrunners, and join our Strava group @PG RoadRunners.

Post some pics or a video from your Mother’s Day 5k – we can’t wait to cheer you on!
