Virtual 5K

1. What is a Virtual 5K? A Virtual 5K is a race you can complete anytime, anywhere—on your own or with others. We hope supporters across Michigan (and beyond!) will join us during the month of August to move for families and breastfeeding advocacy. 2. When does the Virtual 5K take place? We’re celebrating all month long! Complete your 5K anytime between August 1–31, 2026. 3. Where can I run, walk, or move for the race? Anywhere that works for you! Design your own course—your neighborhood, a park, a treadmill—whatever makes it comfortable and fun. 4. I’m not a runner. Can I still participate? Absolutely! Walk, run, roll, dance, or move in any way that feels good. You can even break the 5K into smaller distances across the month—every step counts! 5. How much does it cost to participate? Only $15! Your registration supports MIBFN’s work toward systemic breastfeeding change across Michigan. 6. What do I get for participating? Every participant receives a custom MIBFN sticker. Plus, the 1st and 2nd place finishers in each category will receive a prize! 7. Can my office participate as a team-building activity? Yes! You can register your team all at once or have employees sign up individually. Need help with logistics? Email us at hello@mibreastfeeding.org. 8. Can I share photos of my family participating? We’d love that! Post your photos on social media with #MIBFN5K, or email them to hello@mibreastfeeding.org if you’d like us to share them on our channels (with your permission). 9. Who do I contact if I have more questions? We’re happy to help! Email us at hello@mibreastfeeding.org for any additional questions.
