The Covid-19 pandemic may have changed our lives, but don’t worry - we can still find great ways to come together to support our community. The BStrong Together 4th Annual Joe Kelsch Memorial Run/Walk is going VIRTUAL!
While we will miss being together in person, a virtual event means that you can participate anytime, anywhere and still make a difference in the lives of children, youth and families throughout the Barrington area.
So, make this race your own! It’s simple – just lace us your shoes and run, walk, or even bike the 5k or 1-mile race anytime between August 30th – September 13th and submit your time. A finisher medal will be mailed directly to you at the end of the race. Please see details below on how to submit your time.
Registration includes:
- 2020 commemorative finisher medal mailed to you following the event*
- Personalized downloadable race bib
- Custom downloadable finisher certificate for those who submit their times
Join us as we adapt to the challenges of 2020 knowing that we will be coming back even stronger next year when we can be STRONGER TOGETHER!
