Social Distance Challenge
Organizers of the “We RR in this Together Social Distance Challenge” on Saturday, May 2, hope to alleviate some of the stress people are experiencing. The event is sponsored by the Resolute Running Training Center of Homewood. All proceeds go to the Central Alabama Food Bank. Participants will be mailed a “We are in this Together” T-shirt. There are four event categories: 3-Mile–3-Hour Challenge; 6-Mile–6-Hour Challenge; 12-Mile–12-Hour Challenge; and 24-Mile–24-Hour Challenge. Participants should complete the number of miles signed up for within the allotted hours. For example, a runner or walker who signs up for the 6-Mile–6-Hour Challenge needs to complete 6 miles (running or walking) within 6 hours. Participants can complete 1 mile per hour, 6 all at once, or any combination of their choosing. The miles can be run or walked in the neighborhood, on trails, or elsewhere. Afterward, entrants will post their results on social media and use the hashtag: #RRtogether. At the conclusion of the event, #RRtogether hashtags will be randomly selected for prizes.
