TerraLoco $5 5K

We believe that in 2021, community will be more important than ever, so that's why we're pushing ahead with plans for virtual $5 5Ks at first, and moving into in-person events at a later date.

Over the past seven years, the $5 5K program has raised tens of thousands of dollars for local non-profits. Unfortunately, COVID-19 put an end to all group runs last year, and we were unable to make the same kinds of contributions to support our community in 2020 as we have in previous years.

In 2021, instead of supporting a different charity each week, we have selected three different local charities close to our hearts to support. The funds raised throughout the $5 5K season will be split evenly among the three non-profits. Our picks this year are: The Landing, Project Legacy, and Acts-4-Kids.

All group runs will be virtual only until further notice, but you are welcome to run with friends at your own risk. We will assess the situation every few weeks and will be sure to shout it from the rooftops when we can meet in person again!

In the meantime, we invite you to "register" for each week's $5 5K and 100% of your fee will go to our charity picks. Run Mondays at 6PM in honor of our usual group run time, or pick another time that's convenient for you. Then, post your photos and share so we can spread the love!

Use #5dollar5K and #terralocomn to tag us and possibly be featured on our social media feeds. You can also post directly to our $5 5K Facebook page or in the Facebook event each week. Each photo you share helps spread the message of one of our local charities.

Note regarding in-person events: At this point we are anticipating a return to in-person runs in early summer. When we do return to in-person events, we will be enforcing safety precautions such as limiting the number of participants, requiring a face mask before or after the run when socializing, no longer providing refreshments, and gathering outside only. These precautions are subject to change at any time. Part of the registration process involves signing a waiver, which will ask additional questions to ensure that all participants can safely attend.

Note regarding registration: Registration will open for each week on Saturday morning. You will be unable to register for multiple dates at a time to ensure proper COVID-19 safety.

Note regarding processing fees: In order to ensure that our organizations will receive 100% of the $5 registration fee, we are passing the processing fee (approximately $1.50) on to the participants.
