Donations: If you are unable or do not want to participate, your donations are certainly welcome! We in the PT Club at Wheeling University are raising funds to provide service to the local community of Wheeling and people across the nation as we are able. Our mission is to inspire acts of kindness and service while living an active healthy lifestyle. 

Note: This year the DPT Club wants to give back to Veterans. Yellow Ribbons are available for purchase ($5 donation) with all proceeds going to the local VFW! To donate click the Donation button above and be sure to click the Yellow Ribbon donation button. Yellow Ribbons will also be available on the in-person race day Nov. 11th. 

Awards: Every participant will receive a unisex T-shirt. Shirts will be mailed out in December, once the race is completed. 

Awards will be determined based-on field size.   

Safety: Please be safe when choosing a location for participation in the virtual race. Make sure you run on a pre-mapped out course and be aware of traffic. Consider stretching beforehand and don't run at a pace that is out of your comfort zone. Feel free to jump straight into the race if you are a seasoned runner. If you are new to running or haven't run in a while, please consider some light training before-hand or simply just walking or jogging the race. 

Pictures: Take a picture of you and/or your group while you're out running and upload them to the photos tab! We would love to see everyone of our participants and the fun you all will have while completing the race!
