Virtual Backyard 5K Walk/Run


Okemo Mountain School is partnering with the Ludlow Police Department to raise money for local families who are in need of food during the COVID-19 crisis. This pandemic has caused much turmoil all over the world, but we are also seeing it in our local community with the loss of jobs, especially surrounding the hospitality business, which is so very important in our area.

The money raised is going to the IMMEDIATE need of food and supplies for our local families and will be distributed by the Ludlow Police Department.

How do you participate?

Option 1: Sign up to run or walk a 5K by April 26th, 2020! You may complete the 5K in your own backyard or around your neighborhood! However, we would love to see pictures, videos, screenshots of your route, etc…! You may email these to Ashley Belcher, abelcher@okemomountainschool.org.
Runners! We are also using Strava if you would like to get competitive with your 5K. The runner with the fastest time will win a prize! Click HERE to join the Okemo Mountain School Strava group to track your run!

Option 2: You may make a direct donation to support the families in need. We are also asking our runners and walkers to recruit family members and friends to make donations in their honor. The participant that raises the most money will win a prize!
