We’re excited to announce our MMAA Pride Month Virtual 5K!
During the COVID-19 pandemic, people around the world have been utilizing their own spaces to get healthy. So in that spirit, we’re inviting you to join us virtually throughout the month of June — anytime and anywhere while practicing social distancing — on your own street, backyard, living room, around your building, on your bike, in a wheelchair or even on a treadmill for a 5K!
The event is designed to promote physical wellness while raising crucial funds in our mission to advance fairness and equality for the LGBTQ military and veteran community.
Race Day Festivities:
We want to be as connected as possible with everyone participating throughout the month, so we ask you to post a photo, video, or live stream of you in your course on social media. If possible, wear your favorite MMAA swag or branch specific t-shirt.
Post using the hashtag #MMAAVirtual5k and tag us at:

Tracking your distance virtually: Submit your time and track through a photo or apps like Strava, Map my Run, Fitbit, and other fitness tracking apps to [email protected]
Registration:
Registration is only $5. Then we ask you, the participant, to get your family, friends, and neighbors to sponsor you for your 5K. Have them add your name to the “Sponsor a Runner / Donate” form under “Message of Support.”
The first 50 individuals to register will receive an MMAA lapel pin.
