PWSA Arkansas Virtual 5K Walk-a-thon

August 1, 2020 - August 31, 2020

Join us all month long for a virtual 5K walk-a-thon to raise money and awareness for PWSA Arkansas!

About this Event

We understand that many of you are stuck at home during the coronavirus pandemic, so we wanted to bring some fun and fitness to your new routine!

For the month of August, PWSA Arkansas will be putting on a virtual 5K walk-a-thon to help raise money and awareness for PWSA Arkansas. Participants in the virtual 5K walk-a-thon will have the entire month of August to walk, jog, or run a 5K! You can do an entire 5K all at once -or- you can start at the beginning of the month and log a certain number of steps every day! Participants are encouraged to log their miles using their smartphone, smartwatch, GPS, or another device and report their results on our PWSA Arkansas Facebook group.

Participants are encouraged to gather donations by asking their supporters to pledge a fixed amount for each unit of distance they walk. You can also create a team to work together to raise funds for PWSA Arkansas.

Donations from the Virtual 5K Walk-a-thon will be used to plan family outing, such as another trip to the zoo!
