5000m Challenge

Join us for some calorie-torching 5,000m races and stay for well-deserved mimosas after your race and support your crew!

How it works:
You'll be racing 5,000m! Exact race times and heats will be announced by September 26.
If you sign up AFTER September 14, there's a chance you won't get your preferred t-shirt size.

How it's different than any other 5,000m race you've done:
We're breaking it down into small groups, to make it the most competitive! We're all here for improvement and a little healthy competition. The small groups allow for us to feel the competition build up as we get closer and closer to the finish line. We need your approximate time and as many stats from the training workouts as possible to assign your heat time. 

What: A 5,000 meter race
Where: Rō Fitness Tarrytown
When: Saturday, October 3 
Entry Cost: $40*
*Entry will increase to $50 on Sept. 14

How we're keeping it safe for you:
Each racing machine will be spaced with at least 6ft in between. We'll also have a "wall" of plexiglass between you and any spectator for your race. Masks are required for every person in the studio, except for those who are actively racing. There will be warm up machines outside of the studio for the next heat and we will not allow more than 5 spectators (and 5 racers) into the studio at a time. We have to do this a little different this year, but let's deal with the new normal and have some fun!

Your entry gets you...

• 5k specific training workouts 
• Pace consultation
• Race Entry 

​
In-Studio Participation:
- You'll be placed in 5 person heats (separated at least 6ft, with plexiglass dividers) with those that have similar times as you! We'll have as many heats as needed to accommodate all sign-ups.
- We'll connect your machine to racing software on the flatscreen, so you can see the stats of the race and see who is in the lead from your screen OR from watching the flatscreen. 

Virtual Participation:
- You will be placed in the most appropriate heat based on the times you submit from our weekly long-distance workouts.
- We'll have a Zoom connection on race day so you can start the race with your heat and watch the flatscreen to see who is in the lead and where you stand.
- We will ask that you show your monitor screen, so those that are in your heat can see how you're doing, too. 

On Race Day...
We'll have multiple heats, determined by the racing coordinators. Your specific heat time will be assigned one week prior to the event.
