Virtual 5k for 5p-

Organize or participate in a Virtual 5K! Create a team, raise funds or host an event.

Register Here

 

About This Event

Announcing the 9th Annual Virtual 5k for 5p- benefiting 5p- Society to be held during International 5p- Syndrome Awareness Month of May 2024!

So you may be wondering what exactly IS a Virtual 5k?

It is just like any other 5k (or 3.1 miles), except there is no official race location (and no early start times)! The virtual part of this means no traveling or fighting crowds. It also means you get to choose where, with whom, and even how you want to go that 3.1 miles!

The Virtual 5k for 5p- can be done at any time and on any day during Awareness Week. It can even be done in increments throughout the course of the week! Do you walk to school in the morning, around town during the day, or around the office? How about a Over-the-Line Tournament?  Great! Keep track of your distance until you hit the 3.1 miles.

How To Participate

This event is open to individuals of all ages and abilities. Once you register, either as an individual or as part of a team, you are set! Team Captains will be in charge of hosting their local events, if they choose to gather as a group.

Since this is not a sanctioned event, there is no penalty if you are unable to complete any or all of the 5k. However, during Awareness Week, we will be asking participants to post pictures of you on your 5k route. This is completely optional – but since our goal is to bring awareness to 5p- Syndrome, we want to do just that! And by using the special #5pminus5k hashtag on your photos, we will be able to keep up with the fun! Stripy socks (one short, one long) are also encouraged, which you can also share on social media using #stripysocks!

Registration Options

(Registration will open February 1, 2024)

  • $5 Pinch Runner Registration
  • $25 Bases Loaded USA Registration – Includes registration fee, shirt, and custom 2024 Virtual 5k for 5p- race medal (U.S. participants only)
  • $35 Home Run USA Registration – Includes registration fee, shirt, a pair of custom striped socks and a custom 2024 Virtual 5k for 5p- race medal (U.S. participants only)

Parent Panel Information

During our annual conferences one of our most popular sessions would be the Parent Panels.  For those of you who do not know what a parent panel is, it is like an in-person Facebook group.

  • A chance to discuss topics of interest with families who are in your child’s/adult’s age range.
  • An opportunity to use other families as sounding boards to help answer any questions or concerns you may have about a wide array of topics related to Cri Du Chat Syndrome.

For those of you who have been to a conference, what would you tell a new family about the parent panels?

We will be releasing the schedule soon with the day and time of the Parent Panel for your child’s/adult’s age range.  We can’t wait to meet you and learn more about you, your child/adult, your family and what questions you may have.

Thank you to our Sponsors!
