Cross-Country Virtual 5K & Happy Hour
Coach Sarah Burnell '14 joins Sophie Neems '16 and the Office of Development and Alumni Relations to invite you and your families to participate in the first-ever, Grinnell Cross Country Virtual 5K Weekend during what would have been our 2020 Conference Championship weekend.
Order your very own specially-designed Grinnell Cross Country singlet, and sponsor one for a current runner, too! Lace up your running shoes, spray on some glitter and snap a few selfies before your run. Afterwards, we invite you to post your favorite photos from this year's virtual 5K, as well as pics from past Grinnell races on social media using #GCXC5K. We will then compile the photos shared using #GCXC5K to create a video to share with all of you following the event. And stay tuned for a ThankView request once you register for the race. If you'd like, you may use this link to upload a video clip of yourself congratulating the team for persevering through the 2020 season, wishing them good luck with the rest of the school year, or sharing why you love Grinnell College Cross Country. We will compile these clips together for a wrap-up video.
Finish the weekend strong by joining our virtual happy hour on Sunday to meet Coach Burnell and the current runners, play Grinnell Cross Country Trivia, and share some great stories!
