Virtual Race Option Information
Virtual Race Option Course Suggestions
The beauty of a virtual 5K is that you can run or walk whenever and wherever you want over the course of our race weekend. From your local neighborhood streets, to the Lehigh Valley Trail, to a local track, it is totally up to you! Below are a few possible ways to complete the 5K distance, along with a video of helpful tips and stretches from Lattimore Physical Therapy.
1. 5,000m is 12.5 times around a standard track. It might be a little repetitive, but you can't get much flatter.
2. Check out the link to the Mapmyrun Course around Veterans Memorial Park located below the map of how to get to the park. Two laps of this 1.55 mile course puts you right at the 5K distance (plus you never have to leave the park). PLEASE NOTE: THIS COURSE WILL BE UNAVAILABLE FROM 6:30 - 10:30 am ON SATURDAY, JUNE 7th FOR THE LIVE EVENT TO BE HELD.
