The Cardinals 5K, originally scheduled for April 11, is going virtual, with fans participating by running, jogging or walking the race when and where they want.
Once the race is completed on their own, participants can submit their results via the race website. Proceeds will benefit both the Cardinals Care Redbird Rookies program and Girls on the Run St. Louis.
“Although the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we go about our daily lives, the need for community support remains,” said Michael Hall, vice president of community relations and executive director of Cardinals Care. “While we’re sad we can’t be together in person for this event, we still wanted to provide a way for fans to support two worthy local organizations.”
All who register will receive an exclusive quarter-zip pullover and commemorative medallion. Those who have already signed up for the originally scheduled event will automatically be registered for the virtual race and will receive the pullover and medallion. Registration will be open until July 31. Register at mlb.com/cardinals/community/5k.
