How
do you do a virtual 5K?
A
virtual run is not
a group of people gathering in one place and running together. There
are many ways to participate. Choose one from the list below that
works for you… or come up with another way.
Here

with a treat--a dog biscuit for your pup, and a bowl of ice cream
for you. (We won’t punish you if you don’t end up walking the
entire 5 kilometers.
We promise.)

and off you go. When you finish checking out the cool homes and the
interesting architecture, you can check “virtual 5K” off your
bucket list.
Walk
on your treadmill until you’ve done 5K. Or, take all the clothes
off your treadmill (it makes a great place to hang your fresh
laundry)
so it at least looks like you use your treadmill… and
mark your 5K as “done.”
