On Sept 18th-Sept 25th A Running Passion launched its first annual virtual Will to Run 5K and 10K challenge. Over 250 participants from 29 states across the country participated in their own virtual 5K, 10K, or both as part of the challenge. All participants received a tech-t-shirt, and those participating in the 10K and challenge received additional A Running Passion swag items, including a customized medal for those who participated in the 5K and 10K Challenge. Not even COVID-19 could keep A Running Passion and our wonderful friends and family from making this one of the biggest fundraisers a Running Passion has ever had!
Between our wonderful sponsors, participation registration, and other donations towards the event we were able to raise over $11,000 towards A Running Passion’s general fund, which supports programs like the Coach Will Fulford Scholarship, high school shoe and equipment referrals and so much more.
Overall 5K winners were Abby Laverriere in 19:24, and Jonathan Briskman 15:34. Overall 10K winners were Taxia Arabatzis 43:49, and Jonathan Briskman 32:38 and overall challenge winners were Taxia Arabatzis in a combined time of 1:04:38 and Jonathan Briskman in a very fast total time of 48:22.
