Description
Kindness is contagious! Take a mile walk, jog or run on your treadmill or out your front door and practice KINDNESS along the way.
Some examples of how to practice kindness: SMILE, write a KIND chalk note on the sidewalk, pick up litter along your way, call someone you haven't seen and tell them about their good attributes, make a mental list of people to whom you can send handwritten notes and when your walk/run is done, actually write them notes!
You'll be able to self report the time that it took to complete your mile, but that's not the important piece. When you share your 'time', you're really sharing that you believe in KINDNESS and are committed to spreading it wherever you can! All registered participants will be placed into a drawing for a FREE PAIR OF SHOES from Road Runner Sports and other prizes including FREE RACE ENTRIES for later this year.
This is a virtual event and there is no designated gathering location. Participate on your own. (See FAQs at the bottom of this page.)
Let's spread kindness together while we wait for the day when we can spread hugs and high fives!
3W Races: Do What You Can, When You Can, Where You Are
**As this is a one-time-only fundraiser event, vouchers/coupon codes for 3W Races events are NOT applicable for this registration.
SWAG
Participants will receive an exclusive 3W Races "Spread Kindness" apparel item in the size/gender/material requested. Colors, cut and sleeve length will vary based on current stock. Inventory is gathered from current blank stock on our shelves, as supply chains for most t-shirts are shut down currently. Sample t-shirts are being posted on FACEBOOK. However, registrants are guaranteed only the size/gender/material of shirt selected. What a fun surprise it will be to see if you got a long sleeved or short sleeved shirt in white or a fun color! There are even baseball shirts in the men's collection!
All swag (apparel and race bib) will be shipped via USPS no later than 4-20-20. The sooner you sign up, the sooner your shirt will be mailed!
CHARITY PARTNERS
3W Races usually partners with Growing Home and Community Table in March, April and May. However, our physical events have not been able to proceed as planned and EVERYONE is impacted from this - including our charity partners.
All proceeds from this virtual event will be donated to Growing Home in Westminster, CO and Community Table in Arvada, CO.
You may also donate additional funds directly to these charity partners during registration. Both of these organizations have seen about a 50% INCREASE in need/consumption in recent weeks. They both have access to larger food bank stores to procure product, but it takes $ from their organization to get it. The good thing is that each dollar they spend getting food goes SO MUCH further than a dollar you or I spend at the grocery store.
VIRTUAL RACE FAQs
WHEN should I run this?
You can run this ANYTIME you desire. If it is best for you to wait until later this year to run this distance, then WAIT! Many participants will be running on the originally scheduled weekend, April 18, but that’s the benefit of a virtual event. Only the RACE is virtual – the RUN is REAL, WHENEVER you choose to do it. Need to wait until the middle of July? That’s fine!
WHERE should I run this?
That is 100% your choice. The safest place to run at this time is a treadmill. If you choose to run outdoors, please take every precaution ordered in your area. In most of Colorado, that means staying NEAR your HOME. Don’t drive to a trailhead or a park. Stay within YOUR neighborhood. Yeah, that might mean making 10 trips up and down your block!
HOW should I run this?
Run any way that works for you! Please, follow social distancing precautions. If you’re outdoors, wear a mask, stay away from other people, don’t touch anything, don’t drive to a trailhead or park, stay near your home/neighborhood. Use your treadmill if that is an option for you!
How do I report my TIME?
On the morning of April 18, 2020, the virtual results submission link will be active. You’ll be able to submit YOUR time through that link until the end of the month. You'll receive an email on RACE DAY with the link to submit your time. If you need longer because you’ve chosen to run later in the year, and not this month, then you’ll email your time after you complete your run. info@3wraces.com
Are TIMES verified?
No. For the virtual event, times reported are on the ‘honor system’. We do have this event listed in STRAVA and encourage athletes to use the STRAVA app to record their runs there as well.
WILL RESULTS be posted?
You bet! Starting the afternoon of April 18, preliminary results will be on the RESULTS page of the website.
Will participants be rewarded based on PERFORMANCE?
No, because participants are running in different locations, times, etc. we will not award anything based on performance. See next question regarding prizes!
Will there be any PRIZES?
YES – EVERYONE who registers for this event will be placed in a drawing for a FREE PAIR OF SHOES from Road Runner Sports. Winner will be announced on 4-20-20. Other random prizes will be given as well and will be emailed on 4-20-20.
HOW will I get my SWAG?
It will be sent through USPS. If your address in your RunSignUp account is outdated, please update it now. Click on Profile where you may then edit your personal details. If your address is not in RunSignUp, you may add it now. Likewise, you may email info@3wraces.com
WHEN will I get my SWAG?
Hopefully, swag will arrive at your location during the week of April 20. The final day that we will ship swag is no later than 4-20-20.
