The 2020 Brawn and Bubbles 5k is going VIRTUAL
COVID-19 has truly impacted each and every one of us. While navigating how to remain safe in these uncertain times, medical experts agree that exercise is a key component of staying healthy. Runners can run their 5k race as many times as they would like from July 4 to August 4 and then upload their best score at the end of racing period.
In lieu of our traditional after-party, racers will receive a $10 coupon toward a burger or glass of bubbles provided by our amazing restaurant partner, Brent's Drugs.
Now more than ever, it is critical that groundbreaking research to uncover the potential risk factors that lead to Alzheimer’s and other dementias continues. As we have learned over the last few months, the population at highest risk to succumb to COVID-19 is older adults, particularly those residing in long-term care facilities where many residents are currently suffering with some form of dementia.
How it works:
Step 1: Register for Brawn and Bubbles 5k Virtual Run for the Brain. If you registered prior to May 7, you are all set.
Step 2: We will email you:
- Link to create your virtual bib. Share your bib on social media to get your friends involved. (hint: registration is open until August 4)
- Link to submit your result.
Step 3: Run or walk your 5k, any route you choose. You have all month to compete against yourself and other BB5k race participants July 4-August 4.
Step 4: Submit your best 5k time, with screenshot of time verification, to our website by August 4, 2020.
Step 5: Receive your 2020 BB5k Race Participant T-shirt, Swag Bag, and $10 Gift Card for Brent’s Drugs or The Apothecary (which can be used for a glass of bubbles or a burger!!) from our Packet Pick-Up Table. Details to come!
