Run 4(K)ids FAQ:

What does it mean that the Run 4Kids is virtual?

The virtual format means you can run, walk, or jog the 4K from anywhere at any time during the month of October. You don’t need to participate on a specific day or in a specific location, so feel free to complete the distance on your own schedule, wherever you are!

Do I have to run the 4K all at once?

No, you don’t have to complete the 4K in one go. You can break it up over multiple days throughout October if you prefer. The goal is simply to finish the total distance by the end of the month!

How will I receive my t-shirt?

Once your t-shirt is ready, we’ll provide detailed instructions on where and how to pick it up from Erie Neighborhood House. All other items, including any prizes you may win, will be shipped directly to you.

What else will be shipped to me?

Aside from prizes, all other materials (like participation medals or any event swag) will be shipped to your provided address.

Is there a specific time we all need to run?

No, since the event is virtual, there’s no set time. You can choose to run, walk, or jog at any time throughout October—whatever works best for your schedule!

Do I need to track my run?

While we encourage you to track your run and share your experience with us on social media, it’s not required. This is all about having fun, raising awareness, and supporting a great cause!

What if I can’t run?

If running isn’t your thing, no worries! You can still walk or jog the 4K—or even complete the distance indoors on a treadmill if you prefer.
