Sweet Home Green Bay 5k

Dear Friends,

For the health and safety of our community, this year's Sweet Home Green Bay 5k is going virtual. We understand that this style of race may not have been in your plans, but the well-being of our racers, staff, vendors, and volunteers is most important. We are grateful for your support in accommodating this new format as we combat this virus in our world. We've got some cool swag to send your way, so let's make this best of this crummy situation and have a great [virtual] time! 

What is a virtual race?

Virtual races are becoming popular around the world for a variety of reasons. It allows you to walk, run, or swim on your own schedule. You are not committed to a packet pick-up or a race day start line. No need to worry about parking or getting to the race on time! Some people might like virtual races because they are slowly gaining distance and are not ready for a full 3.1 miles at once. Racing virtual allows you to complete it one mile at a time, and you'll still earn the cool swag. 

Will I still get my swag?

ABSOLUTELY! In fact, we are going to mail your swag items to you for no additional cost. You'll get your long sleeve shirt, bottle-opening magnetic medal, free beer coupon at Mr. Brews and other goodies. We will begin mailing items on May 1. Please allow 3-5 days for delivery.

Many of you also made a donation to Paul's Pantry. They are experiencing a huge demand right now and we will continue to support their organization. We will be sending this year's donation check immediately, and a second one in May. We will be adding some additional funds to help make up for the loss of the May food drive. 

This is a confusing and challenging time for all of us. We don't know what lies in the coming weeks, but we know that Wisconsin is amazing, and no matter what, the good will shine. Look for the helpers...be a helper. If you have the means, buy gift cards from local restaurants, support your Mom and Pop shops with online shopping, donate to organizations that need it, and check in on your neighbors and loved ones.

If you are already registered, there is no further action needed on your part, except for confirming your mailing address on your RunSignUp.com account. We will automatically mail our all race packets to the address listed.

Want to join us? Registration is STILL OPEN for the virtual race!

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at cheers@414events.com or give Sam a call on her cell at 262.391.8214.

With love, health, and gratitude,

Sam & Alex Ogden
