The Run Up To Juneteenth 5K is a rain or shine event, but if inclement weather (including significant rainfall, lightning/thunder, or high winds) creates unsafe conditions for our participants, the race/walk will go virtual. Your registration fee will be treated as a donation if we go virtual and you choose not to participate in the virtual race/walk. 

We will be offering a virtual race option for those who would like to participate but are not local, or do not feel comfortable attending an in-person race at this time. Here's how the virtual race works:

1. Register for one of the virtual event and sign up for text or e-mail notifications.
2. Your race swag will be available for pickup at our pre-race packet pickups, or will be mailed to you after the race ($5 fee for mailing per person). 
3. You'll receive a text or email (if you opt in) when the race "starts" on June 8th.
4. Run your race and submit your results either by text message or email (if you've opted in) or by heading to the results page here by June 9th at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Results update in real time as people submit their times. Be sure to take a selfie/photos and share on social media.
5. Sit back and enjoy your accomplishment!

Virtual race performances are not eligible for the overall event awards, but we'll certainly be acknowledging the winners in our post-race communication.

A combination of the words “June” and “19th” — Juneteenth commemorates the announcement of emancipation of enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln.

Baltimore City proudly celebrates Juneteenth each year with a weeklong series of special events, starting with the Run Up To Juneteenth and culminating with AFRAM, one of the East Coast's largest African American festivals (aframbaltimore.com).
