Description

We hope each of our runner and walker friends have stayed safe over the last year during the pandemic. Not knowing how the status of COVID-19 in the coming months or what conditions will be come our usual race weekend in March, we feel it best to do the ultimate social distance race by encouraging you to run with us wherever you are - on your time, on a course you choose. We want to bring the running community back together, virtually for now. We miss seeing all of your smiling faces in real life and until that can safely happen again, we want to see your photos and watch your miles accumulate. We are bringing to you a virtual 5K, to get out and stay fit while social distancing.

Pound the Pavement for Peter is a 5K Family Fun Run around the Brookhaven Neighborhood. It was started in 2009 in honor of Peter Hopkins, who, suffering from a Peroxisomal Disorder (PBD), lived his life with many disabilities, and eventually lost his life at age 3. This is event is held to raise awareness and funds to help families and children with disabilities and debilitating diseases.

This year the proceeds for the race will support: The Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders (www.thegfpd.org), The Adaptive Learning Center (www.adaptivelearningcenter.org), and the Medically Complex Care Program at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (www.choa.org).

Thank you for supporting this race!

HOW IT WORKS

This year's Pound the Pavement for Peter 5K is going virtual. Let's come together as a community while staying apart!

Here is how it works...

Step 1. Register to run/walk the virtual 5K and invite your friends to join!

Step 2. Your race SWAG (shirt and finisher medal) will be available on at a date and location to be determined! We will communicate this via email to all registered participants. You can also elect to have your SWAG shipped to your door via USPS for $5 add-on selected during registration. If chosen, you will receive email with tracking # as soon as your items are shipped!

Step 3. Run/walk the distance on your own, using our RaceJoy app or one of your other favorites to track your time and distance! Then, submit your time to be added to the Keris Kares Royal Run results leader board. Post a picture of your run to Facebook or Instagram using #embracerace

Step 4: You did it! Enjoy a cup of coffee or ice cream!
