Organiser's description
male sign Run for Kentucky: Join the Virtual 5K for Tornado Relief
When disaster strikes, our people step up.
We're heartbroken for the communities of London and Somerset, Kentucky, recently devastated by tornadoes. To support the victims and help get critical supplies into the hands of those who need them most, We are launching a Virtual 5K fundraiser and were inviting YOU to join us.
Why It Matters to Us:
One of the owners of Apex Promoz proudly calls Kentucky home, growing up less than an hour from the affected area. Kentucky also holds a special place in the Apex Promoz story our very first race as Apex Promoz was hosted in Danville, KY in November of 2022. Supporting this cause isnt just important, its personal.
Matching Donations:
Thanks to the generosity of Riverside Church in Fort Myers, FL all funds raised will be matched dollar-for-dollar. That means every dollar you contribute helps us double the impact and send twice the support directly to Kentucky for recovery supplies.
Bonus Giveaway!
As an added bonus, were giving away a special bottle of Wilderness Trail Bourbona distillery-exclusive release that can only be purchased in Danville, Kentucky! This coveted bottle will be awarded to the individual who makes the highest contribution to our fundraising goal. It's a small way for us to say thank you for going above and beyond to support tornado recovery efforts in our home state.
female sign How to Get Involved:
Sign up for the virtual 5K and receive a Kentucky strong t-shirt. Run, walk, bike or hit the gym, whatever you want to do! Wherever you are, your effort will help lift up those facing incredible hardship. If you dont want the t-shirt there will also be an option to donate the cost of the shirt to the cause.
Shirt Pickup Locations: (Pickup Date TDB)
Fleet Feet Fort Myers (FL)
Black Dog Running (Myrtle Beach, SC)
Danville Bike and Footwear (Danville, KY)
Hickory Tavern (Indian Land SC)
Date: Anytime it's virtual! Registration will be open for one week.
Where: Wherever you run, walk or exercise
What You Get: Custom Kentucky shirt (Blue and White of course)
Lets rally for Kentucky. Lets run for recovery. Lets show what a community of athletes and supporters can do when we move with a purpose.
