#runICOT Pi Day 5k/10k (Virtual 5k) - JOIN US!

I know a few folks who did this last year so I decided I'm in for the fun and thought this would be a neat way to bring us all together, even if we can't be in the same place - plus they have BLING!


What is it?

The Pi Day 5K is a flexible alternative to traditional races—you can participate, regardless of where you live and can run on your own schedule (extra points however for those who run on 3/14/16). We ship you your swag and you run with friends, imaginary or real.

How does it work?

First off, you register for the Pi Day 5K. Online registration is currently open. You can register at any time, up until midnight on March 5th. (Canadian registration closes one week earlier to allow for shipping times. Sorry, eh.) Your registration will come with a sumptuously soft Pi Day 5K shirt you can wear with pride, plus a bib number and finisher’s medal (if you wear the medal before completing the run, you will burst into flames), all which you will receive the week before the run dates. Run the Pi Day 5K wherever you’d like (on your favorite local running trail, in your neighborhood, on a treadmill, in a fog, on a log, etc) between March 12th and March 15th. Once you have run, report your time to us to be eligible for marvelous prizes.

This sounds like fun. Three times around World Showcase is 5k, or so I've been told. I may just do it to prepare for the Star Wars inaugural in April.

I love this idea! I think I may join the team! And I found a great indoor track today where I live for doing this sort of thing.

Very cool! Our family is in! My oldest son LOVES pi. We already have plans to make a pie on 3/14. Gotta run so we can eat it! He will love the medal and shirt!

Noticed a couple people joined the team yesterday - lets get this dough rollin' - see what I did there....! ;)

I did this virtual race last year. The group that runs it is great and the swag is a very nice quality. Last year it did sell out so if you are interested sign up early. I'll be signing up this week. :)

Welcome to the crew Cindy!

Is the medal metal? Or plastic/rubber?

In all the pictures I have seen, it looks like metal. Cindy should be able to confirm.

All joined up! Thanks for sharing this event with us!

It was metal last year. I did their Puppy Run too and that one was metal as well so I assume this one will be. The shirts were a very nice quality too.

Thanks Cindy!

We're in ... DD and I missed participating last year, since it sold out, so we jumped at the chance to do it this year, and "with" some ICOT friends. :)

Alright - my daughter and I are all signed up! Can't wait to (virtually) run with you all! Plus you get bling - that's the best part. LOL! And maybe a pie for all the effort at the end.

Yes, a delicious pie would be good ;)

I'm in! Just signed up. Hmmm, wonder if I can run and eat pie at the same time?? Go Team #runICOT!

Dawn and I are signed up and joined the #runICOT team.

15 Peeps onboard so far! Keep it going folks!
