After the in-person convention was canceled in 2020 the Goodwill and Wellness Committee acted quickly to transition the annual charity 5K Fun Run/2 Mile Walk into a virtual event. The result was an overwhelming success, with over 300 participants,
which helped raise $4,033 for Three Square Food Bank of Las Vegas to provide over 12,000 meals for those in need.
The CoSIDA 5K Fun Run/2 Mile Walk is a project started in 2011 that has raised over $30,000 for local charities and we want to continue that great trend in 2021.
This year’s event will be open to everyone regardless of CoSIDA membership. You will be able to sign-up for the event and you can even create a personal fundraising page to get family and friends involved as well. Reach out to those in your athletic department and get them involved.
We are working with Frontline Outreach to teach sports media to local youth. Located in Orlando, Florida, Frontline Outreach is a group we have worked with in the past during our conventions in Orlando.
The program we are helping fund is called SportsCenter Youth Network and it will teach students how to sportscast live games and be part of a broadcasting crew. This career-filled exploration program infuses hands-on camera engagement, oratory skills, entrepreneurship, technological media to create content, record live events and games, and learn from informative field trips.

What is a virtual race?
A virtual race can be run (or walked!) anytime and anywhere, even indoors on a treadmill. So no matter what your schedule is or where you are, you can be part of this event and a part of our community.
How does a virtual race work?
Once you
register simply complete that distance anytime and anywhere you desire and after you finish upload your finish time to via the results page on the event website.
