Organiser's Description
Welcome to the third annual SLA AnyWay 5k! Started as a virtual race in 2021 by SLA alumni Ethan Chen, the AnyWay 5k was a way to help spread his passion for running with the SLA community. We are continuing his legacy by holding an in person 5k in addition to the virtual event!
No matter if you are part of or outside of the SLA community, everyone is welcome to join in on our race. All registrations, donations, and profits made from this race will directly be given to SLA Home and School to support the SLA community and this race. We would like to thank Braskem for sponsoring this event and making this all possible!
You can use any kind of tracking device for the virtual race. Apps like Strava and Runkeeper work well.
The deadline for ordering shirts is April 1st. The pickup date for shirts is Tuesday April 19th and Friday April 22nd, 3:15 - 4:30 pm, at 1482 Green St. (SLA@CC).
