Distance Socially, Support Locally!
Support your local business owners while social distancing AND doing what you love - RUNNING! You'll be able to self report the time that it took to complete your 5000 meters (5k), but that's not the important piece. When you share your 'time', you're really sharing that you support local businesses!
This is a virtual event and there is no designated gathering location. Participate on your own. (See FAQs at the bottom of this page.)
Registrants in this event will receive a custom t-shirt - shirts are gender specific. Shirts are a myriad of colors from the blanks which we currently have in our local inventory. (Did you know that 3W Races prints most of their shirts in-house, right here in Colorado?) You're also welcome to participate without having a shirt mailed to you for a discount of $10.00.
One in FIVE registrants will WIN a $25 gift card to a local business! Yes, that's right - $5 from every registration will be used to buy a gift card for a local business. 20% of registrants will WIN one of these gift cards. If 50 people sign up, 10 people will win. If 300 people sign up, 60 people will win! When you win, you'll get to CHOOSE which gift card you'd like!
This 5k is a WIN WIN WIN kinda fun event! By participating in this event, you will be doing good for YOU (and your physical and mental health) and you'll be supporting 3W Races, A Precious Child AND the following local businesses:
Joyride Brewing
Old Capitol Grill & Smokehouse
Kim & Jake's Cakes
Skirt Sports

SWAG
Participants will receive an exclusive 3W Races "2020 QuaRUNtine 5000" 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 impeded currently. However, registrants are guaranteed the size/gender/material of shirt selected.
All swag (apparel and race bib) will be shipped via USPS no later than 5-4-20. The sooner you sign up, the sooner your shirt will be mailed!
CHARITY PARTNER
A Precious Child assists children and families facing difficult life challenges such as abuse and neglect, crisis situations and poverty. We work with more than 440 Agency Partners throughout eight Denver Metro counties including Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson and Weld to identify children and families in the most need of our services. Our core initiatives help build the whole child. In addition to meeting basic human needs through our Resource Center and Boutiques (satellite resource centers), we also help children and their families navigate community resources. This work is done through our COR (Child Outcomes Resource) Center where our Child Outcomes Advocates provide personalized case management to disadvantaged and displaced children and families, connecting them with needed resources, services, opportunities and educational support.
Through our four Key Focus Areas, A Precious Child aims to bridge the gap in children’s education so they can become secure, self-reliant, contributing members of their communities as adults.
As a designated essential organization, A Precious Child is on the front-lines, providing emergency essentials, such as hygiene items, cleaning supplies, diapers and wipes, clothing and other basic needs. These resources are vital to help limit the spread of COVID-19 and provide much needed relief to our most vulnerable population.
100% of donations collected through this page go DIRECTLY to A Precious Child.
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, May 2, 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 May 2, 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.
