Given the social distancing policies in effect, we will be having our second virtual version of the event. We ask everyone who registers to run or walk do so on their own. You can choose to pickup your giveaway at Sayville Running Company or have it sent to you in the mail. We ask participants to share their runs via social media using #5kRunfortheBay.
