Going the (Social) Distance for Zone One Dems!

Get your run on for democracy in the Chester County Zone One Dems Virtual 5K!

How does a virtual 5K work? Pay your registration fee and complete the 5K run (safely, while social distancing) by April 30th. Once you've completed the run, email chescodemszoneone@gmail.com with your run time so that we can log your results. Don't forget, or we can't count your time! At the end of the day on April 30th, we'll compile times and the top finisher will receive a pair of tickets to our fall fundraiser (details TBD). The full list of results will also be posted on our website and FB, along with the families that participated in our Family Run/Walk.

The rules:

• You can run the race as many times as you want, and submit your best time, as long as it gets to us by the end of the month. All we ask is that you're honest and give us your real time!
• Run in your basement on your treadmill, in your neighborhood, on an open trail...anywhere you can complete a 5K.
• Track your time and distance using a pedometer (there are many free apps!). 5K is the equivalent of 3.1 miles.
• Once completed, remember to email chescodemszoneone@gmail.com with your time. In the subject line, write "Virtual 5K - [NAME]."
• Remember, running is like walking, only faster! This should be a no pressure activity and a way for us to get active during social distancing -- above all, have fun!

Why are we doing this fundraiser?

We're social distancing during the month of April, so we're unable to go out talking to voters. But the primary election is moving forward on June 2nd, and mail-in voting has begun! (Please visit votespa.com if you haven't already requested your mail-in ballot.)

Since we now have to rely on the mail for sample ballots and other election materials, that comes with increased costs. This virtual 5K fundraiser will make sure we can get these election materials in the hands of voters safely. We thank you in advance!
