Westly's Annual Virtual 5K

Ready. Set. Go!

Is your new year’s resolution to get active? Now’s the time to crush those goals! Westly’s 6th Annual Virtual 5K is a great way to start. Let’s get moving together – virtually or in person! 

Here’s how a virtual 5K works: register first, then complete 3.1 miles between January 1-31 at your own pace, wherever you like, whenever you like. Want to bike the West Orange Trail? Sweet. Hike at Oakland Nature Preserve? Do it. Rollerblade around your neighborhood? We support you. If you want to break it up into segments, by all means – go for it! Tell your family and friends, because it’s open to all ages.

Want to complete 3.1 miles in person with an awesome group? Join us on Saturday, January 28 at the Healthy West Orange Fresh Start Zone at Oakland’s Heritage Day! Walk, run, or bike a 5K as a community. All ages, strollers, and even pups are welcome! The race will begin at the Healthy West Orange Arts & Heritage Center at the Town of Oakland, with check-in at 8:30am, warm-ups at 8:50am, and race kick off at 9:00am.

UPDATE:

Thank you to all who participated this month! With this amazing turnout, we have a few important updates:
 - Packet Pickup scheduled for Thursday, Feb 2 is CANCELED. After our 5K and pickup at Oakland Heritage Day on Saturday, we are completely out of 5K T-shirts and medals. As a reminder, our prizes are always first come, first serve, with limited quantities.
 - If you did not get a T-shirt, and would still like one, we will be doing a reorder! If you're interested in a shirt, please join the email list here: http://eepurl.com/ijGcG1. We will reach back out to that list with details and timing.
 - We had some in-person participants that will also be contacted separately. Please be patient and keep an eye on your email inbox in the coming days.

Step 1:
Register for your free T-shirt and medal. Registration is now open! We have received such a great response in our past few 5Ks, that we are now giving prizes on a first come, first serve basis. Sizes cannot be reserved ahead of time, and quantities are limited. Participants are able to pick up prizes for members of their household only. 

Step 2:

Complete your 5K virtually before January 31, or in person at the Healthy West Orange Fresh Start Zone at Oakland’s Heritage Day at 10am on January 28.

Step 3:
Share your finish line photo or video with us via social media with #HealthyWestOrange, #westlysvirtual5K and tag @healthywestorange, or email westly@healthywestorange.org.
