Buzzard Beach 2020 extended to 8/8
is now virtual (with a twist)!
We never thought this would happen! With the recent increase in Covid 19 cases, we are switching to an all virtual event with a twist. This decision breaks my heart because now, more than ever, we need to stay active and connected.
To make this event safe we would need to strip out all the important features like: cheering on your favorite runner, giving high-fives, pacing each other, and celebrating achievements. This, frankly, would remove the heart and soul of our event.
As stated on the registration site, all current registrants have three options:
Get a refund (less processing fee)
Donate your registration fee to support Running2bWell.
Do the race virtually, anytime, anyplace and “log your result” on the Enmotive website under your membership account (see attached)
We are working on the details but here’s what we want people to do. If you have not done so already, please join a team. If you have questions or problems with this process please send me an email (Running2bWell@Gmail.com). We will be working with the team captains to set up unofficial 5K courses that are convenient for each team. This will allow teams to get together, have fun, hopefully in costume, and cheer each other on especially the first time 5K runners/walkers.
This was a very difficult decision and we explored every contingency but the board and I agree that this is the best solution based on current conditions. #weadapt. Together we are helping those in our communities who struggle with mental health and addiction issues. Thank you for your support of our organization.
