Run for the Roses 2021

RUN FOR THE ROSES

VIRTUAL 5K

APRIL 1 - MAY 1

About the Race:

Join us for the second annual virtual 5k to benefit Clark Co Community Services - Run for the Roses. The event will take place on your own treadmill, track, neighborhood sidewalk or roadway. Just be sure to keep your distance from others in accordance with Kentucky Governor Beshear's Covid-19 recommendations.

WHY THIS EVENT?

Our goal is to raise money for Clark County Community Services who are experiencing a shortfall in funds due to the increase in people requesting their services as a result of the Coronavirus. We know the Winchester community enjoys their exercise, and what a better way to encourage each other to get out and get active during these trying times!

THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!

Register for the race any time before the morning of the event and then complete a 5k on your own time.

RUNNERS - If you sign-up as a runner, you can submit your best time and proof of your run on a tracking app like Mapmyrun, Strava, or a personal tracking watch (Fitbit, Garmin, etc). Data must be submitted no later than Noon on April 30th to 5krunfortheroses@gmail.com to be considered for prizes. Information specific to data/tracking submission will be sent to participants after registration.

Winners will be announced on May 1st. There will be three overall winners both male and female announced on virtual race day - May 1 on the Clark Co - Run for the Roses Facebook page. In addition, all age group winners will be recognized.

WALKERS - As a walker, you can use the honor system to tell us about your walk and how long it took you and remember this is your walk and you can walk it over a couple of days if you like. Post your pictures on our FB page as you complete your 5K!

TEAM CHALLENGE - Invite your friends and family to join by creating a team! If you want to create a team, you will be prompted during the registration process to do so.

They will then scroll down the team names and then select the team they want to be on. There are no additional fees for creating or joining a team.
