Did you know that June 21st World Giraffe Day? We are helping create awareness with our first ever World Giraffe Day 1M, 5K, 10K, 13.1 26.2. 🦒🌠Gear up for an unforgettable virtual race in celebration of World Giraffe Day! 🎉ðŸƒâ™€ï¸ðŸƒâ™‚ï¸ Embrace your wild side and join us as we run, walk, or jog to raise awareness and support for these magnificent creatures. With distances ranging from a fun-filled 1 mile to a challenging marathon distance of 26.2 miles, there's a race for everyone, whether you're a casual jogger or a seasoned runner. The medal says "Aim High. Stand Tall. Get Spotted. Be a Giraffe."
Also, at least 15% of every registration to Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF), the only NGO in the world that concentrates solely on the conservation and management of giraffe in the wild throughout Africa.
These medals are GARAGE MADE – that’s right, they were made right here in our very garage! We’ve been adding some locally made medals, and these ones are made of layered wood and turned out awesome! This medal is more than 4 inches tall and comes with a Virtual Race Events bib where you can write in your race, distance and time.
*For a limited time you can purchase an official t-shirt and/or hoodie HERE! (these are purchased through Threadless.com, so our promo codes do no work for these shirts/hoodies)
What: This is a 5K 10K 13.1 or 26.2 virtual race in honor of all of the giraffes! You choose which distance you will complete.
When: Complete your race any time in June 2023.
*Medals and bibs will ship out within 2 to 5 days of signing up.
Where: You choose the course and you time yourself (you’ll report your finishing time to us).
Why: Because this is our way of celebrating the beautiful giraffe.
Cost: The price is $17.99 and that includes your medal, bib and at least 15% of every entry will be donated to Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF). *We are in no way affiliated with this charity, we like to choose a different charity for each of our races and are happy to raise funds for them.
* Don’t forget that if you sign up for our main 2023 event, Earth Exploration – Running and Walking Challenge, you will be given a discount code that will allow you to save 35% on ALL EVENTS throughout 2023 (which makes races less then $14)! The code works on all 2023 races and doesn’t expire until December 31, 2023! So be sure to sign up for EARTH now and get your discount code now! SIGN UP HERE!
