RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:

Your Official Start Time: Anytime you like on June 20th- Saturday.  Sound a horn, ring a bell, or yell out- Ready, Set, Go.  Capture the moment live on Zoom or on video and share it with us later.
 
Your Official Course: Wherever you want to be—outdoors running a country road, city blocks, hiking trails, treadmill. 
Make it personal to you—mark your own start and finish line—sidewalk chalk, a sign, a tree with a flag—whatever works. 

We want everyone to have a safe experience- wherever your run or walk takes you.   Please remember to follow all rules of the road (face traffic, yield to vehicles) and social distancing protocols.

If you need help marking a course, there are sites out there like www.onthegomaps.com,  www.strava.com. 

Post a photo of your map on social media-  we would love to see where you were.  Tag your photo #R4TOGETHER

Your Official Time:  For virtual participants there is not time.  Run or ramble as fast or as leisurely as you like.  No one will know. No one will care.  Enjoy the moments and each other. 
 
Awards:  Our deepest gratitude and the gratitude of our beneficiaries.
