Let's welcome in summer with the Summer Solstice Stroll, an event to raise funds to help support local youth and family-focused nonprofit organizations, while you work towards your personal fitness goals.

Participating in a virtual race is a great way to motivate and encourage one another, building our sense of community, while we cannot come together at a typical running event. The Summer Solstice Stroll celebrates your health journey, as you continue working toward your personal fitness goals with community support. It also inspires you to keep moving + enjoy time outdoors, while still respecting physical distancing.

Run (or walk) your chosen distance, at your own pace, whenever and wherever you’d like. The goal of this event is to energize and applaud one another as we engage in physical activity and take care of ourselves, in whatever way that looks like for you. You can run, walk, jog, skip, stop and smell flowers -- it's all good!

RUN OR WALK FOR A CAUSE
Help to raise money for a great cause! When you sign up, choose from one of the following charities that your run will benefit:

Healthy Moves
Food For Lane County
Bags of Love
Parenting Now
Save The Children

Proceeds from this event will go directly to your chosen beneficiary.

LOCATION
Anywhere! Trail, road, cross country style – your choice. Preferably outdoors, but your treadmill works, too.

TIME
Complete your chosen distance of a Half Marathon, 10K or 5K anytime between Thursday, June 18 and Sunday, June 21
