There’s still time to join a team or make your own for the Family Medicine 5K Run/Walk this weekend, Saturday-Sunday, November 7-8. The OAFP Foundation (Foundation) is hosting its inaugural 5K fundraiser, and there’s plenty of room for family medicine supporters to run or walk the 3.1 miles to fund Foundation programming for medical students and residents. Registration is open now through Sunday, November 8.
This year’s virtual race will allow participants to run or walk at any time during Saturday, November 7, or Sunday, November 8, on a route of their choice. Join us at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 7, for a kick-off livestream video on the Foundation Facebook page and an official race start at 10 a.m. Follow along on the Foundation’s Facebook page for training tips, selfie challenges, and reminders for the race. Make sure to tag the Foundation in your race photos and use #FamilyMedicine5K with your posts on social media!
Race participants will receive a t-shirt and medal, a printable bib, access to a virtual swag bag from sponsors, and can upload their self-recorded results to the leader board. Race entry is $35 per person. Proceeds will support Foundation programming for medical students and residents.
