The #ElfRun - Virtual Race

Gather up your friends for a holiday-themed virtual race... 

The ELF RUN!

We RUN to fight childhood cancer!

What's a virtual race?  A virtual race is running a specified distance (timed) without being present in the actual race location.

DATE:  Saturday, Dec. 6 - Sunday, Dec. 21  (two-week window)
The race begins on the same day as the St. Jude Marathon, which I will be running as a member of the St. Jude Heroes team. Proceeds from this virtual run will be donated to the St. Jude Children's Hospital.

LOCATION:  Pick your favorite local route or hop on a treadmill. 

THREE EVENTS!  Choose the event that works best for your current fitness level. You may participate in more than one event. Earn 1 entry into the prize drawing for each event that you complete (3 max entries). 
- Run/Walk 5K  (3.1 miles)

- Run 10K  (6.2 miles)

- Run Half-Marathon  (13.1 miles)

This is a great opportunity to organize a holiday fun run amongst your running friends. My local run group enjoys hot cocoa, coffee and Christmas cookies after our run. If you live near Peoria, IL, please join us on Sunday, December 20 at 8:00am for either the 5K or 10K distance. We will start/finish at Running Central and run along the riverfront trail. 

FINISHER'S MEDAL:  $11.00 (pictured above)  Orders will ship out on or before December 1st. U.S. shipping is a flat $3 rate per order. (International orders, I will send you an invoice for $7 extra.) You save when ordering multiple medals in one order. So rally up your friends for a fun holiday run, order together and save!
