We ❤️ Teachers 5K - Virtual Race 2026

The race.

This virtual 5K takes place on October 10, 2026, as part of a nationwide movement celebrating educators. Participants can run, walk, or hike the 5K distance anytime during the week of October 10th, logging their results online to appear on a national leaderboard. All participants receive an official race shirt, finisher medal, and race bib with participant number. Runners may dedicate their participation to a specific teacher, who receives a digital certificate of appreciation. School teams can register to compete on a National School Spirit Leaderboard, with each virtual participant's miles contributing to their school's total.
