Virtual 5K Spring Series

It's been almost one year since we ran/walked our last 5k fun run together.  The SSR board has been itching to host new events but, still, we are committed to protecting the health and safety of our community. 

We have decided to reimagine this year's 5k Spring Series as a virtual event.  Why not just put off events until we can gather again?  Because one of the goals of SSR is to give donations to local groups needing a financial boost. Your registration fees for our fun runs funnel back to our community and this Spring we'd like to give more.  What better way to do so than by supporting your health and enjoying your favorite route or trail?

Here are the details on our Virtual Spring 5k Series.  There will be 4 races (see below for dates.)  You may sign up online for individual races or the 4 race bundle (the bundle option will grant you a discounted processing fee!)  Each race will benefit the group indicated next to the race date. 

Race dates:

Feb 20/21:  Proceeds benefit Socorro HS Warriors Cross Country Team

Mar 20/21:  Proceeds benefit Socorro HS Warriors Cross Country Team

Apr 3/4: Easter Egg Hunt 5k.  Find eggs hidden on a preset course.  Proceeds benefit the Socorro Storehouse

May 8:  Connor's Causes:  Annual 5k walk/run to benefit Cystic Fibrosis research.  Participants will receive a Connor's Causes T-shirt!

On the race's designated dates, run or walk 5k at a time of your choosing.  Masks and physical distancing, please!  Upload or send your time to SSR if you choose, take photos and tag us on Facebook- make it fun and interactive!  Runners, walkers and families welcomed and encouraged.  Not local or want to invite family and friends outside of Socorro? Yes, please!  Send this info to anyone who may be interested!

Registration must be completed at:  https://runsignup.com/Race/NM/Socorro/SocorroStridersandRidersVirtual5kSeries   Entry fee for races 1-3 is $5 each (plus processing fee.)  Entry for race 4 is $10 (plus processing fee.)  Register for the race bundle and enjoy a reduced processing fee. 

Sign up ASAP- the more participants, the more we give to these fantastic groups.  SSR will be in touch soon to highlight the individual races/beneficiaries.
