Live Your Best Life VIRTUAL 5k
Run our event anywhere in the world! We know you’re busy, but you know a good cause when you see one. So even if you can’t join us on race day we’d love for you to be part of the fun! Many of the people we serve at Systems Unlimited work hard towards the goal of accomplishing a 5K for months leading up to the event, but can’t always get here the day of the race and we wanted to open the opportunity to the community as well! We encourage you to blow some bubbles while you are at it, wear a jingling necklace, or light up shoes and send pictures of yourself also enjoying something that stimulates the senses in the spirit of our sensory stations! Our 5k packet includes everything you need to have an amazing virtual event. Items included: - Race Shirt - Race Bib - Finisher Medal
