The event has now ended
- Wed 1st - Mon 6th Jul 2020
This run’s for you, America.
Between July 1st and 5th, challenge yourself to run, walk, or fly like an eagle, then upload your 5k results to the leaderboard and see where you rank! Remember, you are doing this for YOU (and America) so what better way than to reward yourself with a pair of Goodr sunglasses!?
While we are still “all in this together”, sometimes it’s nice to do something just for yourself! You have the option to include the Goodr voucher during registration for a pair of your very own sunglasses that are perfect for runners, cyclists, golfers, beasts, and Bald Eagles or you can just race for your best time...or both...or just go for a leisurely stroll. You have earned it, do what makes you feel best!
You will have 5 days from the start of the race to complete the distance and upload your race data back on this page. Simply record your run using your favorite run tracking app or GPS watch, snap a screenshot of your completed race and a selfie and upload it to the finishers' gallery.
10% of all profits will go towards Hounds for Heroes Service Dogs for Veterans. Their focus is on healing veterans and their families through programs that incorporate the powerful human-canine bond.
N.B. Goodr vouchers are only available to those in the U.S. and will be sent to your inbox after race week.
