Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) and its Foundation hosts “Fall Fitness Fest Virtual 5K,” Oct. 17-24, to benefit students who have been impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Participants can run or walk anywhere, in a neighborhood, on a trail, or around a track, Oct. 17-24.

A 5K is 3.12 miles or 12.5 laps around a running track. A route can be determined using Google Maps (right click on location and select “Measure distance”), or use USA Track and Field’s website to create a 5K course or find one already mapped.

Email results to: Foundation@LCCC.edu between Oct. 17- 24.

Results will be posted by 5 p.m. Oct. 26.

The race is intended to encourage exercise, while keeping safe and maintaining social distance and raising funds to benefit LCCC students.

The 2019 event raised more than $19,000.

Proceeds for the 2020 virtual 5K will support the LCCC Foundation COVID-19 Student Emergency Fund.
