NIRSA Foundation Virtual 5K
October 1, 2021- October 31, 2021
During the month of October 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-- Choose your recventure!
Do your 5K anyway you want during the month of October! 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. The Mission Advancement Fund addresses emerging needs such as the NIRSA COVID-19 relief membership fee waiver, 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.
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.
