Come and join us on Sunday, May 31 at 2 pm (or if you can't make it, choose your own date and location to run/walk). If you have a paper pledge form, bring that along with all your collected pledges. If you're using FundEasy, bring any "offline" donations (cash, checks) that you have collected.
ways to participate
OK, I'm totally IN. What are my options?
Register as an INDIVIDUAL, as a FAMILY, or as a TEAM CAPTAIN. Registration is FREE but the event is a fundraiser, so you are encouraged to donate to AbbaCare and find others to sponsor you as you participate. Families generally raise pledges together, whereas team members each raise pledges individually, but then those funds are pooled together to be eligible for great team prizes!
When registering, you will need to let us know whether you plan to do the 3/4 mile Walk Trail or the 4K Fun Run Course. Here's the difference:
The Walk Trail is about 3/4 of a mile in length and includes a beautiful stroll around the Open Door Baptist Church Property. Some areas are paved, but others are on gravel. If you have small children in strollers, you may prefer to walk on the paved areas only - it's totally up to you!
The Fun Run Course is 4 kilometers and also consists of both paved and gravel areas. This is not a certified run and will not be "chipped." We hope to have an official "race clock" visible at the finish line so that you can see your own time.
TEAMS AND FAMILIES do NOT have to walk/run together -- some folks can walk and some can run, and you can still register as a team or family.
Other activities for the event tentatively include: Kids' Races for kids 12 and under, inflatables, face painting, and other games and prizes.
And again, if you can't join us on May 31 but still want to SHINE for LIFE, plan your own run/walk and raise funds as a virtual participant! And if we have to disband the in-person event due to COVID-19, we'll ALL become virtual participants, with some fun surprises in store!
