Gloria Gates Memorial Foundation Virtual 5k Walk/Run

Help Leadership Blair County Class of 2020 raise money for the Gloria Gates Memorial Foundation, serving local youth.  

Due to COVID19, we had to switch gears from our original plan to host a cash bash to hosting a virtual 5K.  This allows you to social distance AND get some exercise, all while giving back to a great organization!

The Gloria Gates Memorial Foundation (GGMF) is a non-profit organization that reaches children from low-income families. The goal of the GGMF is to encourage school performance and to build self-esteem and moral character so that youth will grow up to be contributing members of society. The goals are carried out through an after school program and a summer program held for children living in three of the low-income housing developments in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

Medals will be awarded to the top 3 male and 3 female finishers in each age group!

Here is how it works...

Step 1. Register to run/walk the virtual 5k, and invite your friends to join!

Step 2. Run/walk the distance on your own, on a course of your choosing

Step 3: Submit your time to be added to the GGMF 5k results leader board. Send a photo of your treadmill or a screen shot of a tracking app to GGMFVirtual5k@gmail.com . You can also post a picture of your run to Facebook or Instagram using #GGMFVirtual5K.
