GatorFam,
Hope everyone is holding up ok during these trying times. To keep our team in the game while out of the water, we're putting on a VIRTUAL 5K! It's a great way to get some exercise while respecting social distancing mandates and raising some money in the process.
How It Works
- Sign Up and pay the registration fee below. If you cannot pay the fee due to financial hardship you can register for free as Moral Support! It includes all the fun, even an entry to win a swim bag, and none of the financial burden if you can't swing it. You just won't get the shirt.
- On any day in May, bust a workout by running or walking 5k (3.3 miles) around town, on a trail or on your trusty treadmill/elliptical.
- Take a photo of yourself at your "finish line" and email the photo and your finishing time to meetdirector@egacgators.com
- All finishers will be listed with their finishing times on the team website
Each runner will receive:
- One EGAC Virtual 5K T-shirt per paid registration. Additional shirts can be purchased for $7 after the event.
- A printable race bib
- Bragging rights
Enter to WIN!!!
Post your finish line photo to Instagram with the hashtag #egacvirtual5k. If you don't have Instagram, send your photo to meetdirector@egacgators.com and we may share it on our social media channels! EGAC Coaches and BOD will select the best photo out of what's submitted to win a sweet custom EGAC swim bag, courtesy of our friends at SwimOutlet.com
-----------------------------------------
Invite friends and family near and far! Since it's a virtual event, they can run or walk anywhere and help raise money to support our program. We are excited to partner with Chicks in Crisis in Elk Grove, a charity who's mission is to "provide love, home and a familiy for every child." EGAC will donate 10% of the race proceeds to their efforts in the community. The remaining 90% of proceeds will go towards supporting our coaching staff during this time.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Stay healthy out there, GatorFam. NEVER SETTLE.
