5K RUN FOR FUN THROUGH JUNE 6
The annual Springville Art City Days 5K Family Run will go virtual this year in an effort to keep the event safe and participants healthy. All are invited to join in this unique run to celebrate the community, enjoy the fresh air and get some great exercise. Those interested in participating must register by May 28 to receive a race packet and a T-shirt. Late registration will be conducted May 29 through June 4, but T-shirts are not guaranteed with late registration. The registration fee is $12 per participant ($15 per participant for late registration). To register: visit springville.org/art-city-days/5K-run/ or register in person at the Springville Recreation office, 443 S. 200 East. Runners can then pick up their race packets and shirt June 2 through June 4 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the recreation office. Race packets will also be available on June 4 between 5 and 6:30 p.m. at the recreation office. To complete the run: Pick a course (any 3.1 mile route in the city that is fun and convenient for you). You can even go the distance on your treadmill! Walk, run or crawl the distance on your own, with your family, with a friend, or even with your dog. And, if you are having lots of fun, you can run/walk/crawl even further if you like. Next, take a picture wearing the Art City Days Run for Fun shirt. It can be a selfie of just you or a photo with your race buddies. Email the photo, along with your name and phone number, to artcitydays@springville.org to be entered to win some great prizes. Photos and names/numbers must be emailed by Sunday, June 6, before midnight to be entered into the prize drawing. All finishers’ names will be entered into a random drawing for prizes. The winners will be posted on the website on June 14. Prizes can be picked up the week after Art City Days starting on June 15 at the recreation office. A few running tips: A virtual race can be run (or walked) anytime and anywhere, even indoors on a treadmill. Young or old, fast or slow – we encourage participants of all ages and ability levels. We accept results on the honor system, so you can track your distance and time however you like. The most accurate way to do this is by using a Running GPS watch, but there are also several free smartphone apps available for iPhones and Android devices that you may be interested in. Thanks go to Intermountain Healthcare Spanish Fork Hospital, Nestle and Elevate Chiropractic and Wellness for sponsoring the race. 18 - SPRINGVILLE ART CITY DAYS 2021 - WWW.SPRINGVILLE.ORG/ART-CITY-DAYS
