Finished Results Freedom 5k Challenge

Mark Gardner

Coming together to provide everybody an opportunity to compete in a 5k, which of course is a national tradition all throughout the nation on July 4th, the folks at Finished Results have developed a plan that covers it all.  

Being held at five different locations, Finished Results is hosting a Virtual 5k Challenge, beginning on Wednesday, July 1st and running through to Sunday, July 5th.

Founder of Finished Results, Chris Drescher, explained, "We're trying to offer something to get people out there. Give them something to do and something to be a part of.  These past several months have been tough on everybody and we simply want to help.   That's why we choose several different locations.  If there is no event in their area, they can contact us for us to create a course, or they could simply create their own."

The entry fee for the event is $20.   If you are under 18, it is only $15!   But, if your program registers as a team, half of all proceeds will go local area school and youth programs.  

Simply reach out and contact support@finishedresults.com and use this an easy summer fundraiser!   Anybody can a member of your team - just designate them and half of your entry fee will go back to your program!
