COVID-19 Miler Virtual Event

Let's kick Coronavirus butt by helping people on the front lines. Register for the COVID-19 Miler Virtual Run/Walk to help raise money for well needed PPE's for our healthcare workers.

Studies have shown that this stay at home order has increased peoples activity levels by 88%...yahoo! Some of you have been doing fitness and running challenges already. Let's put your hard work and dedication to use and culminate the end of our current lockdown with an event for a great cause.

Simply Run/Walk 19 miles in the week of April 27-May 3rd. You can run/walk these miles every day (2.7 miles a day), take a few days to do it, OR if you are really crazy, do it all on one day! Since this is a virtual event, we will go on the honor system but we've created a Facebook Group (COVID-19 Miler Virtual Run/Walk) for you to post your run or photo of your accomplishment as proof. This will be a great place to get creative using the number 19 or sending words of encouragement to others in the group. Show us your 19! #RunnersTogether #runningforPPE #lightitblue

All participants will receive a softstyle unisex COVID-19 Miler shirt. We will also give away random prizes to registrants and the best photo on our Facebook Group page.

Proceeds will go to CLTgivePPE (https://www.cltgiveppe.org), a 100% volunteer based Charlotte grassroots movement to address the massive shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the Charlotte healthcare system by acquiring and distributing PPE as needed for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.
