Description
Run For Venezuela 5K
We hope everyone is doing well and staying safe in this pandemic crisis. As we all know due to COVID-19 many activities including large gatherings such as ours were affected. Our 5K for Venezuela that was previously scheduled for March 15th in Los Gatos, CA was postponed by the Santa Clara County Public Health Department. We had hoped to be able to reschedule the event for early fall, however California is still under a lock-down phase and we are unable to host this event.
The racing industry has been flipped upside down into a massive push toward virtual events over the past several months.
What We're Doing:
Virtual Race -
We are going to change the race to a virtual so you can still have the experience participating in this great cause. You can do the 5k in a safe manner at your own convenience.
For previously registered participants: You will be able to pick up your packet for the virtual race on Saturday, September 19th 2020 at Coupa Cafe - Ramona in 538 Ramona St. Palo Alto, CA 94301. We will have a designated area outside of the Coupa Cafe, from 10am until 6pm for you to pick up your packets with your medal and race shirt. If needed you will be able to pick another runners packet for them.
From the funds of this race we were still able to meet the goal of sending much needed medical supplies and food to Venezuela. With your support you were able to help over 1500 people.
To see how you contributed to the cause go to https://venezuelansinthecarolinas.org/instagram.
We appreciate your support and understanding during this crisis. If you have any further questions, feel free to reply to this email or go to www.runforvenezuela.com
We have a limited number of virtual spots still available, if you know anyone that would like to participate in the virtual race and support the cause they can register on packet pick up day on 9/19/2020.
