Virtual Monticello Panther Prowl

BE Strong Fitness & Yoga, with support of the Greater Monticello Foundation and our co-sponsor UnityPoint Health / Jones Regional Medical Center – Monticello, is hosting the 2nd annual Monticello Panther Prowl 5k/10k, with all proceeds benefiting local organizations.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions and concerns, the race has been converted into a virtual 5k/10k and will take place over a two-week period from June 27 to July 11. A virtual event means that everyone can still participate by doing their walk/run on their own (following social distancing guidelines). 

The deadline to register is Saturday, June 27 at noon.

Rather than beginning the run/walk at 9 a.m. on June 27, we are asking participants to run or walk any time that is convenient for them between June 27 and July 11 and submit final race scores electronically. Unfortunately the Kids Fun Run will be canceled due to the nature of the virtual race.

Last year we had nearly 100 runners/walkers (our first year back reviving this race), and we're hoping to surpass that number this year! You can walk, run, or even just sit on the couch, but every person who participates is helping to support local organizations.

Participants can choose from 3 options: walk/run a 5k (3.1 miles), walk/run a 10k (6.2 miles) or complete both a 5k and a 10k!

Everyone who signs up before June 27 will be eligible for a T-shirt, and shirts will be mailed out by July 11.

We would love for you to share your Panther Prowl 5k/10k pictures and videos by: (1) posting in our Facebook event, (2) sharing on social media and tagging @BEFitnessandYogaCenter with hashtags #PantherProwl2020 #MoveWithPurpose #AloneTogether

Stay safe and healthy, and thank you for your support.
