How does a Virtual 5k work?To participate in the virtual 5k all you need to do is find a safe place to run/walk 5 km (or however far you want...nobody is there to know the difference) while respecting social distancing protocols. As your running/walking take photos and upload them to social media by tagging our Youth Ministry pages. (See links below) We encourage you to create teams with fun outfits and names for a chance to earn prizes!

Where do I run?
The great thing about a virtual 5k is that you can run anywhere! It's important that we maintain safe social distancing protocols so be sure to check local policies before deciding where to do your 5k. If you're unable to go outside, try getting creative with it or even just using a treadmill.

How can I connect with other participants?
The first way that you can connect is through posting pictures online of you participating and tag our Youth Ministry social media.
Facebook: StMaryYCM
Twitter: @StMaryYCM
Instagram: @StMaryYCM
The other way to connect is by participating in the Fun Run Livestream Show on Facebook! Our youth ministers and Fun Run president will be coming together at 9 am the day of the Fun Run (May 9th) to talk about all things Fun Run. We'll be interviewing some of the teens about how the donations from the Fun Run have impacted them, thanking our generous sponsors, and maybe even interviewing some of the early bird racers. Don't miss out!

do people really wear costumes or dress alike as a team at these events?
Absolutely! We hope you do! Of course you don’t have to, but please feel free to be as creative as you want. Whatever you decide, you won’t be alone!

Can i just make a donation to support our youth and not participate in the event itself?
Of course, we hope you come out to join the fun, but we are truly appreciative of all support! Donations can be made to the general event or credited towards a specific participant or team. There will actually be “awards” related to both participants and teams collecting donations. Sponsorship options are also available.
