Connect with 5k On The Farm


Lots of news to report today, everyone!  I've been busy making updates, tweaks, and changes to this site as well as creating new ways you can connect with 5k On The Farm!  We now have a Facebook Page, a Facebook Event, online race sign-up through RunSignUp, and we're also now offering a Virtual Run! Wow. 

For a complete overview of 5k On The Farm, click on the "About" tab above. To register for the race, click the "Sign Up!" tab. 

Online Race Registration
This is probably the coolest news of all-- we are now offering online race registration through RunSignUp! If you haven't used their site for a race before, you'll be amazed at how easy it is. You can sign up for any of our race distances: 5K, 1 Mile, or Virtual Run on the RunSignUp site. You can also simply make a donation to our cause on their site. Registration is quick and easy. They do charge a nominal processing fee, starting at $2.50. 
To visit the 5k On The Farm online registration site through RunSignUp, please click here: https://runsignup.com/Race/MT/Inverness/5KOnTheFarm
As always, clicking on the "Sign Up!" tab in this website will give you the most detailed information on how to sign up. 

Virtual Run
Some of my friends and family who don't live in Montana have indicated they'd still like to participate in the race, even if they can't be here in person. While we'd love to see everyone we possibly can on the farm on race day, we understand that it is just not possible for everyone to be here. That's why we decided to also open a Virtual Run. 

What's a Virtual Run? You pay your race registration, then we mail you your stuff and you run or walk any distance you choose at any time you choose. It's a great way for people who live far, far away to still connect with 5k On The Farm and be with us in spirit. 

You can sign up for the Virtual Run the same way you sign up for the regular race, with the registration form OR online registration. Virtual Runners will pay $20.00, and will receive a race t-shirt and bib in the mail. There is a DEADLINE FOR VIRTUAL RUN REGISTRATION: September 5, 2015. This is to ensure we can mail you your shirt and bib before race day. Again, visit the "Sign Up!" tab to print a PDF Registration form or click the link to go to RunSignUp and register online. 

Facebook
You can Like our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/5kOnTheFarm 
On the Facebook page, I'll be posting news and updates, and will link to every post I create on this website. This site will still have the most information about the race, but the Facebook page will allow you quick access to news and information, too.

Through Facebook, you can also like the 5k On The Farm Facebook Event. Here's a link to the Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1030981450245709/  Facebook Events seem to be one of the most effective ways to tell people about real events taking place. Click on over when you're on Facebook and let us know if you plan to come to the race. 

Please Like and Share the Facebook page and Event page so we can spread the word about the race! The more people we reach, the more runners we will have! 

Thanks, everyone!
