Become a Super Hero

c.a.p.e. crusaders 3rd annual

VIRTUAL 5K walk & run

April 1, 2021 ~ April 30, 2021

In your neighborhood, gym, at the mall, on a track, at the park, or

even the treadmill. Walk, run or fly from ANYWHERE you choose!

In recognition of World Autism Awareness Month, The Chase Academy is asking the businesses and residents of Volusia County to become a Super Hero by participating in our C.A.P.E. Crusaders 3rd Annual Virtual 5K Run & Walk. Proceeds will benefit our C.A.P.E. Crusaders monthly donor program which facilitates The Chase Academy's Programs for Enrichment (C.A.P.E.). This program provides the funding required to enhance the learning experience for our students beyond the academics that are covered by tuition, both inside & outside of the classroom, through technology (Smartboards in classrooms, Ipads for elementary learning), cultural activities (ballet, music & theatrical performances, museum exhibits) & other enrichment activities (weekly music therapy, school garden, outdoor playground and Life Skills classes such as cooking) at no additional cost to our students' families.

Participants can select a preferred running or walking location and complete their 5K distance at the mall, in your gym, on a track, around your neighborhood, on your treadmill ~ where ever you want! Once you complete your 5K distance, post a completion post on our C.A.P.E. Crusaders 3rd Annual VIRTUAL 5K Run & Walk Facebook page.

Is there an official Facebook Page?
Yes, there is! Go to our C.A.P.E. Crusaders 3rd Annual VIRTUAL 5K Run & Walk Facebook Event Page at https://fb.me/e/uWcLZ0PY so you can join. It is a great way to connect with other participants as well as find motivation and support.

How will I be timed and where can I log my activity?
Fitness apps like Apple Health and wearables like Fitbit, Garmin, and Suunto watches are a great way to track your daily mileage. Officially, you can post your results in your account on runsignup.com/Chase5K. You can also post your time on our C.A.P.E.

Who gets a Medal?
Only runners who have successfully completed the registration and payment process by April 15th are guaranteed a free custom medal.
