PIP Spring Sprint 5K

Partners in Prevention's Spring Sprint 5K is a fundraiser to help support our mission to improve wellness and prevent substance use disorders and related health challenges in Hudson County and New Jersey. We work toward this mission through the use of our Education Programs; where we educate members of Hudson County on topics pertaining to the overall health of the community, the Hudson County Coalition; an active group of volunteers and professionals working to reduce youth substance abuse through policy change, providing information, and community advocacy, and the Lindsey Meyer Teen Institute; which works to guide young people to realize their leadership potential and become empowered to create positive changes in themselves, in their schools, and in their communities.

Virtual Race FAQ

• WHAT IS A VIRTUAL RUN? A Virtual Run is an event you can complete Anytime/Anywhere! There isn't a set time or place since virtual runs are meant for you to complete at your convenience and at your own pace.

• HOW DO I SUBMIT MY TIME? - The completion of the 5K is on the honor system. To submit your time, go to the top menu bar on this page and click the Results tab. Once on that page, there is a bar at the top that starts with "Post Virtual Results!" Click the Submit Virtual Results button at the end of that section. From there, enter your name to look up your registration and select Submit Virtual Results next to your name. There, you should be able to enter your time and then Submit Your Time. If you have any questions or need assistance, please e-mail Ryan Palmer at RPalmer@pipnj.org.

• IS THERE A SPECIFIC APP WE NEED TO USE TO TRACK OUR TIME? - You can track your run with any app, watch, or fitness device you would like. There are lots of mobile applications to help you map safe 5k routes. For example, check out AllTrails, Realbuzz, Strava's global heat map, iSmoothRun, MapMyRun, Runkeeper, Runtastic, or a 5K Training Program.

• WHEN SHOULD I COMPLETE THE VIRTUAL RUN? - Our official Virtual Run ends on April 27th at 11:00 AM. You can start and finish your run any time before then and submit your race results!
