Event Details
HOBBIT DAY 5K & 10K – THE JOURNEY TO MIDDLE EARTH
-This is a virtual race!
September is also Leukemia and Lymphoma Awareness Month, so we will be donating at least 15% of every registration to Be The Match, “for the thousands of people diagnosed every year with life-threatening blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, a cure exists. Over the past 25 years Be The Match ® , operated by the National Marrow Donor Program ® (NMDP), has managed the largest and most diverse marrow registry in the world. We work every day to save lives through transplant.”

What: This is a 5K or 10K virtual run (or walk) to honor hobbits!
When: Complete your race any time in September. If you can complete it on Hobbit Day, September 22nd, even better!
*Medals and bibs will start shipping out mid-August. Then the will ship out every 2 to 5 days after that.
Where: You choose the course and you time yourself (you’ll report your finishing time to us).
Why: Because this is our way of celebrating Hobbit Day and to help raise funds for an amazing organization: Be The Match.
Cost: The price is $18 and that includes your medal, bib and shipping. Plus, at least 15% of every entry will be donated to Be The Match. *We are in no way affiliated with this charity, we like to choose a different charity for each of our races and are happy to raise funds for them.
WHAT IS A VIRTUAL RACE? A virtual race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym or on the track (or even at another race). You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself. And your medal will be shipped directly to you. Complete a virtual 5K, 10K, half marathon and more!
