DPC Pumpkin Run + Walk Virtual Event!

Let’s Get Moving… Together!

As the holiday season approaches, I thought it would be fun to take a more proactive approach to our health and daily movement. With this in mind, I’ve created a virtual race event for the month of October – the DPC Pumpkin Virtual Run + Walk.

This event will be completely free and will work on an honor system regarding giving out finisher rewards. The goal is to help each other get in better health and shape with an extra fun motivational reward.

How It Works

First, decide which virtual races you’d like to try and complete. You will have until October 31st to complete these virtual races. If you decide to do all three (1m/km, 5k and 10k – that’s 16k in total!!) you’ll get a special Triple Challenge finisher reward!

Once you’ve decided what virtual races to complete, you’ll want to download your digital goodie sticker pack and playlist. You’ll find those further down the page. Use those to set up your pages in your digital planners to help keep you motivated and to track your progress. (Don’t forget there are some virtual event tracker templates in the new One Month Get Fit Planners!)

Once you complete a virtual race – post a pic in the DPC Fitness Group with your finished details (don’t forget to say which race you finished!), and if possible a screenshot of the device you tracked your progress with (ie. Apple Watch, FitBit, etc.) and the hashtag #dpcpumpkinrunfinisher. This hashtag lets the DPC Planner Squad know you’ve finished and would like a link to your finisher rewards. They will message you a link to your download for the event(s) you’ve finished.

The finisher digital rewards include:

• A digital medal for the specific race – these are perfect for your DPC Planner Girl!
• A digital coin for the specific race – perfect for tracking all of your completed virtual race events in the Virtual Event tracker page in the Get Fit One Month Planners.
• A digital finisher certificate
• Ribbon banner graphic with finished text on it (and a blank version).

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:

• You will need to finish your virtual races by October 31st, 2021 and post your completion info with the hashtag #dpcpumpkinrunfinisher in the DPC Fitness Group. You will be able to post and receive your finishing rewards for a few days after the event deadline.
• You can do these races in any form you wish – run, walk, roll… The goal is to get moving, so any activity that counts for that will work.
• You can do these on any days that you want and that fits with your schedule. There is not a specific “race day.”
• These races are intended to be done individually – so if you were to do all three to try for the Triple Challenge – you would have completed a distance of 16k or 10.3 miles.
• We’ll be posting fun motivating tips and more in the DPC Fitness Group, so join us there for even more fun!
• While some of these numbers may seem overwhelming keep in mind that I am able to do a 5k with a slow walking pace in one hour. You may also break these up if you need to – for example – one mile a day for three days for the 5k. Whatever helps you complete the task and do something positive for yourself counts!
