What is a virtual 5k?
A virtual 5k is a race that you can complete by running or walking 5k at any time and location during the event period. 
  
Why should I join?
All proceeds from the event will go to the NYCC and help fund the valuable therapy services, as well as the free tutoring, mentoring and extracurricular events, that the NYCC provides to victims of child abuse and their families. Plus, you will have fun logging some miles for a run/walk! 

How do I join?
Register here. The registration fee is $20 (plus $2.16 processing fees) per person. Additional donations are welcome and much appreciated.

Then what do I need to do? 
Any day/time on October 21-30, 2022, go run or walk 5k! You can do this anywhere outside or on a treadmill. You can time yourself manually or using a health fitness or run tracking app, such as Strava, Garmin, Nike Run Club, etc. You will have the option to upload your results to share them with the rest of the participants. You may also upload photos from your run/walk!
