Virtual 5K & Online Shopping Experience

A virtual race provides participants from all around the world the opportunity to participate at their own pace and in their own space anytime during the event window.

Admiral Farragut Academy is a nonprofit organization that supports students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The funds raised during the event goes directly back to the school.

Of course! We encourage participants of all ages and abilities. Share this event with your friends via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, email, or text and invite them to join the fun!

The race is free for all students currently enrolled at Farragut. For everyone else, individuals are $25 and teams of 4 are $80.

Absolutely! You can support a race participant and/or make a donation to Farragut by visiting the home page on the following website: www.auctria.com/auction/farragut5k. 

Most participants either walk, run or hike, but we leave room for individual preference. Biking, swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, rowing, etc. are also other great alternatives. While completing the event don’t forget to show off your Farragut pride by wearing your Farragut gear and taking pictures!

Any app or system can be used to track your distance. Please record all of your distance in miles, not kilometers.

Certainly! The 5K is just the target goal, but feel free to go longer distances. 

We will miss seeing you in person, so during the event please use the hashtag #Farragut5K on social media, so we can cheer you on and congratulate you on a great race. Pictures can also be emailed to communications@farragut.org.

Event completion must be reported by 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 9, 2021. Complete the form now.

You will need to:

• List the activity date, type of activity, and distance for each entry
• Add up your total distance completed

Since the race does not allow for a level “playing field,” we would like to think that everyone participating in this event is a winner!

Definitely!  Farragut students will be entered to win several prize giveaways.

To honor the spirit of traditional races, all Farragut students who completed the 5K will receive a race medal and are available for pick up at Farragut between 1:00 to 3:00 pm on May 10th. Any medals not picked up on May 10th can be shipped out later for a small processing/shipping fee.

Shirts are available for purchase on www.auctria.com/auction/farragut5k and can be picked up at Farragut between 1:00 to 3:00 pm on May 10th. Any shirt not picked up on May 10th will be shipped out later for a small processing/shipping fee.

All students will be issued a race bib and handed out at school.

The following are some virtual safety tips:

• Please be aware of your surroundings, use running trails or sidewalks if possible, use crosswalks when crossing roads, and obey traffic laws as you are not participating on a closed course.

• Notify someone when you are out participating in the event.

• Use common sense and listen to your body. Do not attempt to participate if you are feeling ill or experience an injury.
• Thoroughly wash your hands upon returning home.
• If listening to music, manage the volume at a level that allows you the ability to hear oncoming traffic and other hazards – consider participating with one ear bud in to increase awareness of your surroundings.
• If you are experiencing a medical emergency or feel unsafe, call 911.
• Follow guidance from government officials on social distancing and the CDC’s recommended steps to protecting yourself and others during the COVID-19 outbreak.
