Description

Mighty Mason Pritchett 2nd Annual 5k Run and Virtual Sprint Triathlon will kick off on September 6th, 2020!  Mark your calendars for a fun morning of running, online silent auction prizes and camaraderie with friends to support Mason Pritchett's fight!  Our race path will take us around the beautiful Whalon Lake and end with race day activities under a pavilion.  Rain or shine, we look forward to seeing you! 

Whalon Lake is wide open and will give plenty of space for social distancing.  We will be observing extra precautions in observance of COVID-19, which will include: 

·       Hand sanitizer available

·       Maintaining 6ft distances when picking up race bibs for timing

·       Volunteers handing out bibs will wear masks

·       Masks not mandatory while running, but encouraged before/after event

·       Full fruit at finish (not cut) bananas, individual snack bars, water bottles

·       Stagger start times to encourage spacing and reduce need for passing other runners

Thank you for your participation and get ready for a fun and competitive race!

After the conclusion of the run, Little Pops Pizzeria (a Naperville BEST OF winner in 2020 for: Best Crust, Best Sauce, Best Pizza) will be ON-SITE with a wood fire over making pizzas for sale!
