RUN IT FORWARD!
The National Landing 5K Fridays is pleased to announce the Run It Forward (RIF) initiative in 2022.
RIF is an effort to reduce financial barriers to entry and make run-racing more accessible to underrepresented and under-served communities in DC, Maryland, Virginia and throughout the US. In 2022, RIF will provide complimentary entries to the race (in-person AND virtual options) to individuals who are facing financial hardship through the generosity of contributions to the RIF fund.
Runners, partners, sponsors, and the community at large are welcome to make contributions to Run It Forward. When combined with the commitment by the event organizers, every $40 contribution allows Pacers to award one full entry to a deserving recipient. While our goal is to help as many runners as possible, complimentary entries will be distributed at the rate the fund grows. Help us connect the under-served running community to the joy of running!
If you or a deserving athlete you know wants to be considered for a complimentary entry to the race (in-person + virtual events), runners are invited to complete the brief Run It Forward Athlete Survey. Once a survey has been submitted and donation funds secured, the applicant will be contacted directly with next steps for completing a race entry.
