Due to the current social distancing restrictions, we have decided, for 2020 to make this first year event virtual and will hope to have an actual race in 2021.
A virtual race is a race that can be run or walked from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on a treadmill or track. You get to run your own race, at your own pace. The River City Races Dog Jog, Stroller Strut & Human Race Virtual 3k Run/Walk race day will be on June 20th, 2020, and we would love to see everyone out in their own neighborhoods completing their fun run/walk. Results divisions include the three separate races:
Dog Jog (although this one would be hard to do on a treadmill, LOL)-how fast can you and your dog race a 3k
Stroller Strut-how fast can you and your stroller buddy manage a 5k
Human Race-get out there on your own and blow it out!
Race entry includes a gender specific, sleeveless shirt (perfect for summer running and walking), finisher medal, finisher certificate, dog bandana for your dog (if you register for the Dog Jog, while they last), Facebook frame for your profile picture and a $5.00 donation to My Dog Eats First.
So many are out and walking and running now, share this with your friends who are just getting started and they can see how far they have come!
We'll have the original 3k course we were going to use in Cherokee Park posted here if you need a 3k (1.8 miles) route or you can create your own in your neighborhood.
All race shirts, bibs, and medals will be mailed to you prior to the June 20th race day if registered by midnight, June 7th, so that you can wear your shirt and bib when you complete your run. Those registered after June 7th will receive their shirt, bib and medal after June 20th.
Once you've completed your race, you'll log your time and download your finisher certificate to share with friends, family and on social media!
Five dollars from every registration will be donated to My Dog Eats First, a non-profit organization that helps homeless and those under the federal poverty guidelines with pet food and pet supplies and operate a low cost clinic for their pets until they can get back on their feet.
