Bring your Cleft Community Together.. virtually!
Virtual Race participants have started rallying the craniofacial community in their hometown to join their CleftStrong 5k virtual race team, connect and build relationships! They have created their very own Facebook page for their local craniofacial community to post important race information such as the downloadable CleftStrong 5k flyer with event specific information, and the registration link along with their assigned team name and password they will use to register under their community's team! Others have also contacted their area's cleft and craniofacial clinic(s) to help spread the word to patients and families by placing a flyer in the waiting room with their team's registration details. Past virtual racers have posted as much of their CleftStrong 5k journey as they wished on social media and this year we will have an all new 2020 CleftStrong 5k Private Facebook Group page to do so, as well! For added fun, we also award our largest virtual race team after the race! If this is something you are interested in doing in your community and would like to further discuss, please contact us here!
* Please make sure to check your community recommendations regarding concerns for covid-19 and physical distancing. The 2020 CleftStrong 5k and Kids Fun Run event will be switching to a 'virtual event only' should concerns for Covid-19 prevent us from gathering together this fall as in year's past.
We recommend being creative in getting to know your community virtually this year! Have fun with it!!
