2025 LTA Foundation 1.975 Run (Draft)

Join us for the 7th Annual 1.975 Run! 

On Saturday, June 28th, 2025, the Lambda Theta Alpha Foundation will host our annual 1.975 Run in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Our theme this year is "_______________" as we continue to work towards the advancement of our community. We would like to invite you all to support the LTA Foundation by registering for the in-person run. If you cannot attend in person, you can also participate in the virtual race or a local micro-event where you can run, walk, treadmill, or bike at any time from anywhere. All ages are welcome to participate so bring a friend, significant other, or the whole family to support a good cause! All funds raised will enable us to advance our community via education and natural disaster relief.

Event Information

Runners will meet on Saturday, June 28th at 7:00 AM AST. We will meet directly outside of the main entrance to the Caribe Hilton Hotel (1 San Geronimo Street,
San Juan, Puerto Rico 00901). Once you arrive, locate our LTA Foundation volunteer to check-in. They will verify that you have completed a waiver and release of liability. All runners are required to meet with the check-in volunteer to participate in the run. Please note that this is an untimed race.

Safety

Your safety is our number one priority. Complete the run safely and responsibly. Along the route, we will have volunteers posted to assist you. Do not hesitate to ask them for support. In addition, we will have volunteers completing the run alongside our registrants. They will follow behind the group to ensure everyone is safely moving through the course. If you have any issues and a route guide is not nearby, move toward the back of the group to locate the volunteer for support.

Our run will be 1.975 miles long. You are responsible for your physical well-being. Listen to your body and move at your own pace. We will have water and snacks available so you stay hydrated. We encourage you to check the weather and dress appropriately. 

In case of an emergency during the 1.975 Run, contact Alma Sida (262-232-3035).
