DIY 5K INFO
Don't live in the Bryson City metro area?
Schedule doesn't allow you to join the on-site fun on May 13th?
No worries >> the 2024 Cherokee Choices Mother's Day 5K Run/Walk is offering a DIY (Vitual) Option:
DIY Anywhere 5K: Saturday - May 4th > Sunday - May 12th
This “Do It Yourself” event will allow participants to run or walk at any time and any location that is convenient for you. Run around your block, on trails, go down to the track (12.5 laps = 5K), or even run on a treadmill. You don't even have to live in WNC - so please invite friends and family both near and far to join the fun. While not required – you can submit your time for inclusion in the online “Just For Fun” results. We will collect times beginning on Saturday May 6 through Monday May 14th. Instructions on "How to submit your DIY Results" are found below.
And remember - Mother's Day is on the 8th so make a point to get your Mom, Auntie, or any special lady in your life to get out for some exercise. [Don't forget to make her a card too.]
