Description

DUE TO COVID-19, THE PARKLANDS 5K WALK & RUN IS NOW A VIRTUAL EVENT AND WILL TAKE PLACE DURING THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 13TH.

Take a beautiful stroll or an invigorating afternoon run through Beckley Creek Park while virtually supporting The Parklands of Floyds Fork! Join us for the second annual Parklands Walk & Run starting on Sunday, September 13th as we gather virtually to raise funds for the annual operations and maintenance of this 4,000-acre, visitor-supported park system! 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in order to ensure the safety of our registrants and park visitors, The Parklands 5K Walk & Run will be held virtually. Now you can complete your walk or run at your own time during the week of Sunday, September 13th through Sunday, September 20th. The virtual format allows participants to enjoy a pre-marked scenic course in Beckley Creek Park, while offering plenty of space to spread out and follow social distancing practices. A T-shirt and race medal will be given to each race participant! T-shirt and medal pickup will take place at the PricewaterhouseCoopers Pavilion in Beckley Creek Park the week of the virtual event at the following times:

• Sunday, September 13th  9 a.m. – 2 p.m.


• Monday, September 14th 9 a.m. – 11 a.m.


• Tuesday, September 15th 4 p.m. – 6 p.m.

The Parklands 5K Walk & Run supports The Parklands Fund, the annual fund campaign that raises money to support maintenance and operations of The Parklands, which does not receive tax dollars for annual operations. The Parklands is open 365 days a year, from dawn to dusk, with zero entry fee. It features over 50 miles of trails for hiking and biking—including a mountain bike park and a 19-mile, ADA-certified, multi-use paved trail that spans the length of the park—and 20 miles of paddling trail along Floyds Fork. Thanks to community support, a safe, clean, fun and beautiful experience is provided for the millions of Parklands visitors every year.

Help us maintain these nearly 4,000-acres by registering today. Invite your family and friends to virtually participate the week of September 13th and/or by making a donation today.
