Let’s show some appreciation for the RVA and all they do for us by running or walking with the RVA!  Fall is a great time of year to get outside, enjoy some fresh air, and enjoy the cool breeze.  So let’s see how many miles we can run/walk for the RVA!

The “race” will begin Monday, October 5 and can be completed cumulatively throughout the course of the week, with Sunday, October 11 being the “finish line.”  Distance can easily be calculated or recorded using a smartphone, smart watch, fitness tracker or by mapping out a course using your car’s odometer with an adult’s assistance. The MapMyRun or MapMyWalk apps are an easy way to track distance as well. 

The virtual Walk/Run-A-Thon will be open to all RVA students and their families who would like to participate.  If you would like to participate in the RVA Walk/Run-A-Thon, please click HERE to get your RVA digital racer’s bib!  This can be printed for each participant, cut out and pinned or taped onto your clothes during race week to show off your RVA pride!

When you submit your “race” results, your student/s will receive a personalized Certificate of Participation. Your cumulative data should be submitted by the end of Monday, October 12 using the form linked HERE.  

Don’t forget to take pictures and/or videos of our students running/walking or even crossing the finish line! (Toilet paper makes an excellent finish line.)  Photos or videos can be uploaded to this RVA Walk/Run-A-Thon Folder.

We can’t wait to see your RVA pride in the 

1st Annual RVA Walk/Run-A-Thon!
