Gare di 5K vicino a Huntingdon

Rowe’s Research Runners Annual Event is a walk, run, and roll fundraiser in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, with a virtual option for those unable to attend in person. The in-person gathering uses the Pennsylvania Military Museum as its base, and the event supports research into ME/CFS, dysautonomia, long COVID, and related illnesses. This is the ninth annual edition, and registration does not include a T-shirt; shirts and extra merchandise are sold separately. The event originated from Emily Steffensmeier’s birthday fundraiser and her desire to thank Dr. Peter Rowe, the physician who helped her transition from being bedridden toward a fuller life. Rowe’s Research Runners collaborates with Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, and all money raised goes directly to Dr. Rowe and his colleagues at the Chronic Fatigue and Related Disorders Clinic. The cause is personal and medical: Emily has lived with these conditions for 24 years, and the event focuses on fundraising, awareness, and connection for patients and families managing illnesses that can affect the nervous system, immune function, heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, digestion, and daily energy.

Knights on the Run is a road race in North Andover, Massachusetts, organized by NAAA. It features a traditional 5K and a kids run. Check-in and race-day registration begin at 8:30 a.m. at North Andover High School. Walk-in registration is available after online signup closes the previous evening. The kids event, Knights in Training, is for children under 12 and starts at 9:00 a.m. Its grade-group courses for Pre-K through second grade and third through fifth grade are each about a quarter mile. Proceeds support the North Andover Athletic Association, which has backed North Andover athletics for more than 50 years. When construction interrupts the traditional 5K course, the organizer still runs the kids event.

C'è questa First Night Resolution Run 5K, una 5K di Capodanno che si tiene a State College, Pennsylvania, collegata ai festeggiamenti di First Night della città. È una gara che fanno ogni anno a dicembre, e offre a chi partecipa un'occasione veloce per correre a fine anno, proprio prima che finisca. Sull'annuncio pubblico trovi la distanza e dove si corre, ma non c'è una mappa dettagliata del percorso. Il bello è che è dritta al punto: una 5K secca, tutta dentro il codice postale 16801 di State College, il 31 dicembre. Visto che non ci sono recensioni di runner sulla pagina, mi sa che è più un evento locale tranquillo che una gara famosa per cui uno si sposta.
