Why 5K Your Way?
After a long year, we wanted to create a fun sense of community, virtually, all while raising awareness and funds for the TVEF Caring Fund. Here are the details:
- Register! It's free and you can still get a race kit (SOLD OUT)
- Make your fundraising page your own. Join a team. Sign up with friends, with family, and see just what you can accomplish!
- Get on social media! Share your fundraising page. Tell people why you're doing this.
- Follow us on social media for updates, ideas, and posts you can re-share!
- Log 5K your way in the first two weeks of June (May 31, 2021 - June 13, 2021)!
- The event is virtual, so you can do this from wherever you are. London, Middlesex, Elgin, Oxford counties...or maybe you're joining us from somewhere else!
We have some ways to make this fun! To start, let's talk prizes:
- Top fundraiser x 2 (individual) (approx. $100.00 value and $75.00 value)
- Top fundraising team (capped at 10 people/team to contribute toward fundraising total) (combined value of approx. $200.00)
- Individual with the most donors (approx. $100.00 value)
- Best 'Finish Line' --- we want to see those finish line photos! Use the hashtag #5KYourWay and tag us (Twitter: @TVeducationFdn). Photos with the most likes by June 16th wins! (approx. $100 value)
Not sure what the Caring Fund is?
- The Caring Fund supports students of the Thames Valley District School Board
- From emergency situations, like a house fire, to every day needs like hunger, the Caring Fund is there to show our community that #WeCare
- The Caring Fund is funded 100% by your donations and community support
- Last year, the Caring Fund helped more than 530 families with more than $350,000 going directly to students and their families
So - are you ready to 5K Your Way?

is there a race kit this year?*
You bet! Thanks to our sponsors Harrison Pensa, our kits this year will have your t-shirt, a 'finish line', and other goodies! Make sure to pick your kit up before you log your 5K --- we'll be doing kit pick-ups starting the week of May 25 at 1250 Dundas St. We'll email you the details, so make sure you keep an eye out for that.
*While supplies last. SOLD OUT
HOW WILL I GET MY RACE KIT?
We will send out an email in mid-May with the details about picking up your kit. Pick-up will take place at the TVDSB Education Centre, 1250 Dundas St., London, ON.
DO YOU NEED VOLUNTEERS THIS YEAR?
If you might be interested in assisting with race kit pick-ups, please email Stephanie Winterton at s.winterton@tvdsb.ca Otherwise, thank you for thinking of us! Our volunteers are the backbone of so many events and we love the support. If you want to help, you can do so by liking, following, and sharing our social media content! Twitter here and Instagram here.
how long do i have to log my 5k?
You can log your 5K anytime from May 31, 20201 until June 13, 2021 at the end of the day! Some participants are choosing to do 5K more than once over the two week time frame.
Can I share my results?
Your 5K, your way! You can use any app or watch of any kind to time yourself or track your distance. We plan to have a live results page, where you can post your results. You will be able to see what activities others have done, then, too.
