After much success with last summer's Orange Lotus Virtual 5K Run, we are excited to host another one this spring!
The GREEN Lotus Virtual 5K Run and Bike... That's right, you can bike the 5K if you'd rather. Many requested this last year and we are happy to add. We are so excited to share with you all of the amazing ways you can get involved in aiding our housing mission and beautiful families.
How it works:
Step One - Sign up on our website and enter for free, download a running app (Runkeeper is our preferred app, but you may use any app that measures your distance and the route) as well as join the Facebook group .
Step Two - Get sponsored!!! Ask people in your community to sponsor your run or bike. A 5k is around 3.1 miles. A sponsor can give $15 to $30 each mile for the three mile route; multiple sponsors can join at once. The sponsorship's will be donated to our housing program.
Step Three - Train!!! This is 3 miles!!! Please do what is best for your body during this event. Research and ask your doctor, or the proper healthcare professionals, about ways you can stay healthy. Remember to stay hydrated and listen to your body during training and the run or bike itself. And take a few weeks to study and complete your chosen course a few times.
Step Four - Run or Bike the 5k and wear any GREEN colored tee shirt. The event is virtually hosted, so you can pick the date, time and place to run / bike your chosen route. Run at night during cooler hours, bike in the morning by the lake, or participate on a weekday in your neighborhood. It's your path to take!!!! It is open to anyone across the globe.
Step Five - Screenshot your time, and measured distance (3.1 miles), as well as your mapped route from the app. Take a picture after you have completed your route and post both the screenshots and your picture to the Facebook page. We can't wait to see all of your beautiful faces!!!
Step Six - Contact your sponsors to let them know that you completed your race!!! Lotus will mail them a tax deductible receipt at the end of this year. Lotus Loft is under PRMI, and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Event ends on April 30th, 2022
