Build Back Boulder Walkathon

Virtual Option Directions

Hello! We are very excited you chose to be a part of our virtual walkathon! The virtual option is something we are very excited about and we are so happy we were able to roll this out! The virtual option is for those who wish to participate in the Build Back Boulder Walkathon, but are unable to attend the in-person event. We are excited to welcome participants from around the state of Colorado, around the United States, and hopefully internationally! The virtual option is very easy and flexible. It will run from April 17th to April 23. See the directions below on how to participate!

Step 1: Sign up for the virtual option. 

Step 2: Find a way to track how long you walk and what distance you are walking.

Step 3: Find a place and time to walk between April 17th and April 23 that works for you!

Step 4: Once you complete your walk email bbbwalkathonasd@gmail.com the distance you walked, the time you spent, how far you went, where you walked, and a picture!

Step 5: We have set up a virtual means of donation! If you wish, use this link: https://communityfoodshare.fenly.org/drive/build-back-boulder-walkathon-marshall-fire-donation-drive/ to donate to our community foodshare virtual food drive. 

That's it! If you have any questions please reach out!

Hey my name is Kasim and I am one of the organizers of the Build Back Boulder Walkathon! I am an intern at Aspire Skills and I am a senior at CU Boulder graduating this Spring! I have lived in Colorado almost all of my life and I have a passion for helping my community. I remember being stuck at home feeling powerless as the fires burned in Boulder County. I remember feeling a deep sadness as I watched my community struggle and it pained me to not be able to do anything about it. This motivated me to be part of the team that is working to make this walkathon happen. I hope to see you all come event day! 

Hi! My name is Julia and I am the other organizer of the Build Back Boulder Walkathon! I am a Colorado native, and as such, I have a passion for giving back to our Colorado community. I am a second-year student at CU Boulder and an Aspire Intern. In my free time, I enjoy skiing, running, and spending time with friends and family. I hope to see everyone at the event! Let’s build back boulder together!
