SOAK UP THE SUN SUMMER DISTANCE SERIES
Join us this July for a month long Summer Distance Series. Whether you're training for your first 5K or are a seasoned marathoner, we have a goal distance for you! This month long virtual event has distance goals to challenge participants of all abilities & aspirations.
Choose your final goal distance, build your mileage up each week, submit your weekly results and conquer your final goal distance during the last week of July. Similar to a "Couch to 5K" type of training, each runner will build their mileage each week and compete in a weekly race at their set distance, with the ultimate goal to complete your final goal distance. Distances may be completed by any combination of running & walking.

Our goal for the Soak Up the Sun Summer Distance Series is to raise $25,000! Participants are encouraged to set their own fundraising goal. There is no "right" number; your commitment is what matters! Still, there is no harm in setting a lofty goal, you'll be surprised by the number of people who will want to support you and OAR. The more you raise, the more you get! Learn more about fundraising here.
