2020 Virtual Summer Sunset 5K & Youth 1 Miler The Summer Sunset 5K and Youth 1 Mile events are hosted by the Fox River Trail Runners to raise funds for the Youth Scholarship Fund and local charities. Since the scholarship fund inception, we have given out numerous scholarships annually. This year, our largest year yet, we will be handing out 20 scholarships to local youth who have demonstrated great academics, volunteering in their communities and of course their love for all things running! We ask, if you are able, to continue to support this cause and give a donation above the entrance fee for the race. All proceeds from the Summer Sunset are given back in the community to the annual scholarship fund. Due to social distancing guidelines related to COVID-19, this year's run will be a virtual race. Participants are encouraged to adhere to the RRCA Social Distancing Running guidelines. Registered runners will have between July 15 and July 29 to complete the 5k or the youth mile and enter their race time. As a virtual race, there is no official race course. Runners are able to participate using their favorite outdoor 5K and 1 mile route, or on a treadmill. Please see below for details on how to submit your time. We have new swag this year! All participants will receive this awesome Tie Dye Neck Buff! All swag will be picked up at Geneva Running Outfitters late July! Details on how to get your swag will come out at a later date via email and be sure to check back on our Facebook page!
