STRIDE Storybook 5k

STRIDE is on the front line of the COVID-19 response, as the only Community Health Center in the state that is providing COVID-19 testing for patients and members of the community.  We are incredibly proud to be part of the efforts of combatting this pandemic, although it does come at a cost to the organization, as we focus our time and resources to these efforts.  We are moving forward to provide Telehealth to vulnerable patients, in addition to providing well visits and chronic disease management visits, and we hope to roll that out next week.  We are also looking into the possibility of providing drive-thru testing at our Del Mar location in Aurora.  In the meantime, we are continuing to partner with the state and local health agencies to ensure that we have stock of Personal Protective Equipment, to protect our staff and patients during screening and testing.

As this situation continues to unfold, our communities are making tough decisions surrounding public events.  We were informed yesterday by the City of Aurora that permits for events taking place between March 14 – May 15, 2020 have been canceled and new permit applications for future dates are not being accepted at this time.  Unfortunately, this means that STRIDE has to cancel the Storybook 5K on May 9th.

We are hopeful that we might be able to postpone this event until Q4 2020; however, that remains up in the air at this time.  We will continually monitor the situation and determine if that is a possibility or if we need to postpone the event altogether until 2021.

Registered participants were contacted via email on 3-18-20.

We appreciate your support of STRIDE and our efforts and look forward to the day when we can run the 5K!
