Virtual Races
Description
Why: We at the Community Table Food Pantry along with many of our dedicated volunteers have not only a concern and discomfort about people not having their groceries needs met but it's a calling in our lives to do our best to meet those needs! This "Run/Walk To End Hunger" is one of those steps to do just that with your help. It's a Fund Raiser to get as much funds to buy as much food and help as many families as we can! We're already helping supply groceries for over 650 families a week! Believe it or not there's more families that need help too, that's where this Virtual Run comes in!
Where: Anywhere you can get away with it! You can run or walk 5k in the park, around your neighborhood, walk around 6250* steps which equals 5K in your office or at home holding the baby or shopping, whew! I'm sweating just thinking about it!
When: From May 23rd to May 30th. You start and stop when you want to over these provided days, join in and "feel the burn" and "end the hunger"!
*based on an estimated stride length of 2.1 to 2.5 feet
FAQs
Do I have to do the virtual race if I registered?
No, but you would not be eligible to receive the "Completion of race certificate" though. If you just want to help the cause, donations are always welcome.
Can I break up my distance during the virtual race?
We also understand that many of our participants have different fitness levels. For those that need a little extra time you can also break up your distance into manageable segments. Just make sure you add the full time when submitting your final results.
How much of my registration is donated to charity?
The Virtual Run/Walk Fund Raiser was started in efforts to give our participants a way to give back as well as get healthy. After the overhead is subtracted from registration, the nonprofit organization will receive 100% of this remaining amount.
Does the Virtual Run/Walk Fund Raiser offer refunds?
We do understand that situations may come up where you may request a refund on your registration. Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds on registrations.

How do I submit my results for the virtual race?
