A message from the Gingersnap 5K Race Committee:

For 10 years, the Gingersnap 5K has provided thousands of dollars to Girls on the Run Union County to ensure the program remains available for every girl, regardless of their economic status. The health and safety of everyone we engage with has always been our top priority. As the world battles the COVID-19 pandemic our concern for the welfare of the participants of Girls on the Run and the larger running community has been heightened and is impacting every decision we make moving forward.

As we look ahead to the Gingersnap 5K, we will follow the guidance and recommendations from our local, state and national government regarding the safety of our in-person race.

 At this time, the 2020 Gingersnap 5K is proceeding as planned with the in-person 5K and is excited to announce the addition of the Virtual 5K registration option. Run (or walk) the Gingersnap 5K Presented by Connolly Orthodontics wherever you want and upload your results! The Gingersnap 5K race committee is exploring alternatives, modifications, and new approaches, all of which would need to follow government guidelines to ensure the health and safety of our participants for our in-person event.

We will continue to provide updates in as timely a manner as possible. We hope this gives some sense of control during this unsettling period. We appreciate your continued support and thank you for your patience. If you would like to connect directly regarding any questions or concerns, please email us at gingersnap5K@gmail.com.
