Virtual 5K or 1Mile RunTough for ChadTough sponsored by Bose
REGISTER BY 9/1 TO RECEIVE YOUR RACE PACKET BEFORE 9/23! Date, time or location an issue? Then join us in spirit by taking a 5K or 1 Mile run or walk either at the same time as the RunTough for ChadTough race or any time that works for you. This can be done anywhere -- it can take place on one of our same race paths, your neighborhood, any track or treadmill. Register before September 1 to ensure you receive a race shirt and finisher's award before race day. All virtual runners are also eligible to win fundraising prizes. Be sure to share your photos on our Facebook page to participate in the excitement. REGISTRATIONS AFTER 9/1 WILL RECEIVE SHIRT, BIB, & FINISHING AWARD IN OCTOBER.
Saline RunTough for ChadTough 5K Race
We encourage you to be ChadTough and challenge yourself in some way to celebrate your own inner strength and courage. Run further, run faster, bring more friends, or raise more money for DIPG than last year. If this is your first year, set a goal: pace, fundraising amount, # of people recruited to join you. For everyone's safety, bikes, wagons and dogs will be prohibited on the race course. Strollers are okay, but we ask that you line up towards the back of the pack and use caution. All participants registered by September 1st will receive a race shirt and a finishing award. Shirts may be available after September 1st, but cannot be guaranteed.
