2019 WHO Wants to Race 5K & 10K for Autism Awareness In Portland

April 25, 2019

April Is Autism Awareness Month In Portland

Help Support Autism Awareness Month By Participating In Portland's Virtual Running Race

It’s time to sign up for our fourth annual WHO Wants to  Race 5K & 10K!  April is Autism Awareness month and we want to help raise awareness and help families that are affected by Autism. This is a virtual Race, and we have lots of Doctor Who fans that have loved doing this race each year!
 
What:  This is a virtual race. You choose to complete a 5K or 10K.  You complete your race on your own and submit your time to us.  Then we ship your medal directly to you.
When: Complete your race any time in April 2019! *Medals will ship at the end of March, after that they will ship within 2 to 5 days of signing up!
Where:  You choose the course and you time yourself (you’ll report your finishing time to us). Why:  To raise awareness for Autism!
COST:  $20, which includes your medal, official bib and shipping. Plus, at least 15% of every entry will be donated to the Doug Flutie Jr Foundation for Autism Inc.   *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. Run on your own, or with friends! And your medal will be shipped directly to you. Complete a virtual 5K, 10K, half marathon and more!
 
The medals have this quote on them:  “900 years of time and space and I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important.” -The Doctor Participate in our race and help us raise awareness for Autism! (at least 15% of every registration to the Doug Flutie. Jr Foundation for Autism Inc.)
 
In the last three years we have donated more than $19,000! *For a limited time you can purchase an official t-shirt and/or hoodie.
