This year Angel Park will continue to hold its 5K & 1 Mile Family Fun Run but it will now take place as a Virtual Race as a result of COVID-19. Registration will still benefit Angel Park and runners still have the chance to get some exercise.
Registrants will still run (or walk) their race distance but at any location they choose (treadmill, neighborhood, local park) between Aug. 12th and Aug. 18.
If runners participating in the 5K and would like to be listed in the results, they are asked to track their time and distance with a watch or running app (example: Garmin watch, Strava App).
Participants are asked to run the whole distance (3.1 Miles for a 5K) and then be able to report the time. Results will be automatically updated as race times come in. Runnings can also share photos on social media by using the following hashtag: #AngelPark5K2020.
Registration:
Entry Fees: 5k: $30; 1 Mile Walk: $30
There will be a Packet Pick-up on Aug. 9 at Angel Park. Materials can be shipped for an additional $5. Entry fees are non-refundable.
Submit Results:
5K Runners will be able to submit their results through text or email (if opted in) or through the runsignup.com results page from Aug. 12 through Aug. 18 (11:59 Eastern Time). Participants must run your 5K (3.1 mile) race during this time period to be listed in the official results and be eligible for overall awards. Any questions about submitting results can be sent to events@charmcityrun.com.
Awards:
Top 3 overall male and female runners
If runners intend to compete for time-based overall awards they will need a method of recording their time and distance – a GPS watch, phone app (MapMyRun, Strava, etc.), or a treadmill. To maintain the integrity of the competition as best as possible all award winners must submit photo proof of GPS/run data to verify time and distance (photo of treadmill with time & distance, photo/screenshot of run tracker, etc.). Award winners will be emailed when the results submission period closes and asked to reply with their photo/screenshot. Participants must run the full distance of the event you selected in order to qualify, so for our purposes that is 3.1 miles for the 5k. If a performance cannot be verified, the award will roll down to the next participant.
Packet Pickup:
Sunday August 9th from 12PM-2PM
