Are You a "Geek" Who Loves to Run?

Disclaimer: Although this is a review announcement for the Geek'd Out Running Club.  I am not being compensated in any way for writing this post.  The race director of this series is a friend of mine, and I am sharing the info for pure information for others.

I'm going to tell you about a few races you might not of heard about.

What is the Geek'd Out Running Club?

They are a series of fun run 5k's, that are great for the entire family to join in and participate.  Additionally a large portion of the proceeds go directly to various Utah based charities.

They also have a couple of different options this year.  You can register for just one race of your choice, or if your interested you can buy a season pass that will include you in all of the races.

Additionally, if you purchase a season pass, you will be getting into what was announced as their "secret" fourth race.


ROAD RACE AND VIRTUAL RACE

All of these races are within the Salt Lake Valley in Utah. However, if you think these are medal's you just have to have? you can also participate virtually.
Virtual runners will also receive a t-shirt, bib and race medal.

FUN RUN

These races are pure family fun runs.  The races are not timed, although they do acknowledge the first place finishers.
In other words, the entire family is allowed to come and share in the fun.  They even allow strollers, although I would assume like most races if you are bringing a stroller you'll be placed in the back of the race field at the start for safety reasons.

They are all about just having fun and finishing, so everyone who participates receives a finisher's medal. (Yes even virtual race participants.)

Additionally first place finisher's will find creative awards, that run along the lines of Darth Vader and Potter Wands.

You can dress in race attire, 

or 

have fun and dress in costume!

PARTIES BEFORE THE RACE

You're race registration will get you access to the pre-race party.  Where you can mingle with volunteers dressed in character, for a few selfies.
Celebrate Harry Potter's Birthday with some yummy cake, that you can run or walk the calories off the next morning.  A few other fun event surprises as well.  Visit each individual race Facebook page for more details on these.
