Quarantine Run 2020 (May)

***This race has SOLD OUT. Thank you all for your amazing support!*** our next race is May 30th, The Shoe Fanatic Run. Here is the registration page: https://runsignup.com/Race/FL/AnyTown/ShoeFanaticRun 

With so many of our events being cancelled or postponed, runners all over the country still have a strong desire for something to train for and look forward to. Despite the difficulties, runners are finding their own unique ways to keep running and training in a safe, legal and ethical manner. I've decided to create The Quarantine Run 2020. This is a virtual 5k run, and I'm working to make it unique in many ways. Among other things, there will be an actual race date and start time (May 9th at 9am Eastern time USA), a virtual check in and start on race day morning, timekeeping (runners will provide screenshots or pictures of their chosen method of time and distance keeping), and custom engraving on the back of the medal for age group winners. All participants will receive the custom Quarantine Run 2020 medal, with age group winners receiving the engraving on their medal back. 

******* If you cannot participate on the scheduled race date/time, you can absolutely still register. Your medal or medals will still be shipped. But, you won't be eligible for age group awards (engraving on your medal) or to be counted among the "official" times posted after race day.******

Join private Facebook Group for access to race day live-stream virtual check-in and virtual start (Please note, the Facebook group is being used for BOTH the April 24th and May 9th events. The April 24 event is sold out, so if you register on this runsignup page, you are registering for the May 9th event.

Here is the Facebook Group link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/880518105739882/

Race Date and start time: Saturday May 9th, 2020. Virtual check-in via live-stream in the Facebook group above starts at 8:00am Eastern time USA. Virtual race start via Facebook group above live-stream at 9:00am Eastern time USA. The live-stream will be going while you are running, and we will be waiting for you to complete your 5k.

Pricing includes shipping as quoted by our shipper as of April, 2020, and each registration link is configured for shipping costs to either the Continental United States, or Canada, or Other Countries outside the US and Canada. Please be certain you register for your appropriate location. Any runner whose address does not match up with their registration location choice will be refunded, and they will have to re-register. Please note - Shipping is via USPS. There have been a few rumors in the news about the USPS having some sort of financial issues due to the COVID19 related shutdown. It seems highly unlikely our event's shipping will be affected. BUT, if it is, and changes out of our control must be made to shipping, all runners will be notified via email.

Timekeeping: Race timing will operate on the honor system. Given the unique nature of each runner's situation, we will accept proof of completed 5k on race day via text or email (to be provided in pre-race emails). For example: Treadmill runners may text or email a picture of their treadmill console. Or, phone app users may screenshot their completed run on their phone app and text or email the picture. Or, runners using a watch may snap a pic of their watch-face and text or email it in. You may run in any way that is safe, legal, and ethical in your area. This may be on a treadmill, trail, sidewalk, laps around your house, laps inside your house, etc. It is entirely the runner's choice, and please maintain social distancing and follow all your own local laws, directives, regulations, etc.

Results will be published in the Facebook Group.
