HaitiGO is helping develop a thriving Christian community in the northern hills of Haiti. HaitiGO provides student sponsorships, orphan care, church partnerships, and community care. The roots of this mission organization dates back to 1947 when Ericlee Gilmore's grandparents were pioneer missionaries in Haiti. Ericlee and Dorina started a non-profit called Christian Friendship Ministries in 2010, which is today HaitiGO.

A portion of proceeds and donations from Walk Run Soar Virtual Run 2020 will go toward a Widows Fund to support widows in Haiti. The funds will be used to furnish and resource a widow's home that was built this year in Fontaine, Haiti. Funds may also be used to provide food and supplies for the widows and help them build a garden so they may grow their own food. This Widows Fund will be an ongoing opportunity for HaitiGO to provide resources and jobs for Haitian widows in the future.

Do I have to use the designated routes?

No. The designed routes are there for your convenience if you live in Central California. We are excited to welcome runners from around the world. A virtual race can be run anywhere. You may run any 5K/10K/Half Marathon route and submit your results in the RESULTS tab!

Can I walk the Walk Run Soar Virtual Run?

Absolutely! "Walk" is part of our event name! Get out and get those miles in any way possible!

When will my run packet be mailed out to me?

Run bibs and run packets will be mailed out in mid-October. Our goal is for your swag to arrive in your mailbox 1-2 weeks before the run. All run packets will be mailed to the shipping address provided during registration.

When can I pick up my run packet in person?

We will have a 1-day in-person packet pick-up on Saturday October 3 from 1:00-4:00P. Local Fresno/Clovis registrants will be emailed the packet pick up location. If that time slot does not work for you or you didn't receive an email with the packet pick up instructions, please email walkrunsoar@dorinagilmore.com for more information. Any packets not picked up will be mailed.

How do I submit my results?

Results can either be submitted by using the RaceJoy App (which will automatically publish finish results!) or by manual entry. To manually submit your results, simply go on the RESULTS tab and click SUBMIT MY RESULTS. Yes! It is that easy!

Do I have to turn in my GPS data from my watch or phone app when I submit my results?
Nope! We use the honor system. However, please do document your time for your own records in case of technical error! And don't forget to take a pic of yourself before, during, and/or after the run to post on social media with #WalkRunSoar
