Miami’s Fraternity and Sorority Life is excited to announce the 2nd Annual TOPSS 5K Fun Run! This year, the run will be completely virtual! The TOPSS 5K Fun Run will be held October 3-10. This virtual 5K gives you the opportunity to give back to TOPSS, the Talawanda-Oxford Pantry and Social Services.

The mission of the Talawanda Oxford Pantry and Social Services is to provide services, remove barriers, and develop collaborations that support the nutrition-related well-being of all residents of the Talawanda School District so that they can fully utilize their unique capabilities across the lifespan. Fraternity and sorority members are working to support the transition from the current Oxford Pantry to the Talawanda Oxford Pantry and Social Services (TOPSS), which includes the construction of a new building. To learn more, visit Talawanda Oxford Pantry and Social Services.

What is a virtual run? A virtual run can be completed at any location and any time during the open event date. You can do the race inside your home on the treadmill, or you can go outside and practice safe social distancing by walking, jogging, or running. The virtual race is just 3.1 miles and is also a family-friendly event!

Registration for the TOPPS Virtual 5K Fun Run will be open from September 1st until race time, October 3rd. Registration cost is $25 and includes a race t-shirt. The official race package will be shipped the week of September 27, 2020. There will be an option to forgo the t-shirt if you would like to go green!

In order for your race time to be included in the final results, you will need to track your race using the running app of your choice. You will need to complete a quick race-completion form and upload a picture of your run. Races must be completed between October 3rd and October 10th to be counted in the final results. Also, take a picture pre/post-run and share it on social media using #TOPSS5KFunRun. Be sure to follow our instagram @mugreeks!
