NIRSA Foundation Virtual 5K

NIRSA Foundation Virtual 5K
February 1, 2021- February 28, 2021

During the month of February 2021, NIRSA members and campus recreation supporters are invited to participate—individually or as part of a team—in the NIRSA Foundation Virtual 5K experience.

Do your 5K anyway you want during the month of February! Participants can run, walk, skip, swim, bike, or binge watch 5 episodes from your training couch-- whatever makes your heart happy-- wherever works best. Run your race at your own pace! Want to see how you compare? Keep track of your time and record it (or not!).

Please practice social distancing and follow public health ordinances set by your local government.

All proceeds from race registration and fundraising will go towards the NIRSA Foundation Mission Advancement Fund, but, due to a software thing, you will only see the donations on the ticker. Previously known as the General Fund, the Mission Advancement Fund addresses emerging needs such as the NIRSA COVID-19 relief membership fee waiver and the upcoming NIRSA EDI Climate Study while continuing to underwrite NIRSA Strategic Initiatives such as scholarly research and health and wellbeing initiatives.

We encourage you to sign up individually or with a group of “teammates” from your institution or NIRSA peers—we know you’d be with your NIRSA Family if we were in Wisconsin and we want to bridge that gap as much as possible. To best support NIRSA member needs now and in the future, we invite you to consider fundraising in addition to participating.

Struggling with which team to join? You can register for multiple teams, but you can also make a donation to your different teams and then just participate with them.
