Cancelled race, yet still doing it virtually

Like many races, fun runs and other organized athletic events being cancelled or postponed, the DC Wonder Woman Run I was going to do this Sunday in Tempe, AZ was cancelled. 

I signed up to run this fun run with my daughter, both of us running the 5K distance around Tempe Town Lake. 

Last Friday, this notice was posted on the race’s Facebook page. 

“Due to the concerns surrounding the coronavirus, and taking into consideration the guidance from health and government officials around avoiding public gatherings at this time, we have made the unfortunate decision not to hold the upcoming Tempe and Houston DC Wonder Woman™ 10k/5k races at their present venues. This decision was not taken lightly, but the safety of the community and our staff is of the utmost importance.

We understand how disappointing this is, but we still want to provide a great experience for you. That’s why we've created the Tempe and Houston DC Wonder Woman™ 10k/5k VIRTUAL RUNS! What does this mean for you? We have switched all registered participants to virtual runners and are going to ship all of your goodie bag items- tech tee, commemorative tote bag, and wrist cuffs, along with the finisher’s medal, and race bib, direct to your door.”

So the race being cancelled, I plan on still doing the race with my daughter, only the two of us logging the 5K distance on a course near our home.  We will be practicing “social distancing”. 

If you have signed up for a race, maybe this exact one, still get out and get the miles in. 
It is important to still exercise and be active, even though we might not be able to gather in the massive group of runners are doing it on the same course at the same time.

Perfect timing for the DC Wonder Woman Run Series

This will be my first organized official run with one of my kids.  Running the DC Wonder Woman Run Series is stopping in Tempe, Arizona on March 24, 2019 with my daughter. We are signed up for the 5K distance. They are also offering the 10K for those wanting a longer race.

It’s perfect timing for this race to come through Arizona. In my daughter’s class at school, she selected Lynda Carter, you know the original Wonder Woman from the TV series, as her wax museum figure for a class project.

It will be a neat experience for my daughter, and on top of that, see a the sea of runners all wearing Wonder Woman gear.  Shirts, wristbands and capes, etc.

DC Wonder Woman Run Series

DC Wonder Woman Run Series is stopping in Tempe, Arizona on March 24, 2019. 

I have signed up to run the 5K course with my nine-year-old daughter. I am excited, as this will be our first race/run doing together. 

I am sure she will do fine and have a lot of fun. She is active and plays soccer, so the running or the distance should be not problem for her. She also is a member of her school's run club.

The course and weather should be perfect. There may be a little challenge as the area of Tempe the run is going through has some hills, but nothing too steep. 

I am excited to be able to run the course with my daughter and will have a great time. 

Break out your inner super hero. The @WonderWomanRun (3/24) is almost HERE. You can still save 10% w/ code "WWBIBRAVE"! #BibChat
