Join us for our first ever VIRTUAL 5K Race to raise money for Habitat CFC!

Finish 3.1 miles any way you like-Run, Walk, or Mosey.....just raise money!

5 easy STEPS:

1. Be Safe!

During these times, it is important to stay safe. Remember to complete the 3.1 miles while socially distancing and wear a face covering if needed. STEP UP & Be Safe!

2. Register Yourself and Get Family and Friends Involved!

Registration is FREE! However, we are encouraging everyone to raise funds for Habitat CFC. Once you register yourself or get a "team" together, you can start fundraising! Get your family and friends together for some friendly competition and challenge yourselves by completing 3.1 miles. See who can STEP UP and raise the most funds for a great cause! Because it is VIRTUAL, ANYONE from ANYWHERE can STEP UP and join the fun! Share your fundraising link with family and friends and post it on social media!

3. Choose Your Own Course and go at your own pace!

Because it is a VIRTUAL race, you can choose any 5K course that is best for you; whether it be around your neighborhood, a mapped out course, or even an indoor treadmill! Map My Run and Strava are both easy to use apps for tracking mileage, and don't fret, this is NOT a timed race. Remember to post your pictures on social media with #HabitatCFC

4. Complete the 5K anytime from Saturday, October 3 to Saturday, October 10. Fundraising can start TODAY! PLEASE NOTE-WE HAVE EXTENDED OUR 5K TO OCTOBER 31!!

A VERY COOL HABITAT CFC HAT will be awarded to those participants who raise a minimum of $100! Once you hit that amount, your hat will be available for local pick up (shipping is additional). But why stop at 100 bucks? STEP UP and raise more!

5. Remember that every dollar raised for Habitat CFC helps give local parents the hand-up they need to give their children a better life and to build a strong and stable foundation for their future.

It's time to STEP UP for Habitat Homes!
