Tenth Annual Anchor Bay Rotary
Fun Run
Once again, this year, the Anchor Bay Rotary will sponsor a 5K Fun Run on Saturday, June 26, 2021, in conjunction with the Bay Rama Fishfly Festival. Last year, due to the Covid pandemic, and the cancellation of the Bay-Rama Festival, we held a Virtual Fun Run This year, we will return to our Saturday morning running event.
Potential June 26 Race 5K Participant Information -
We are working with Bay-Rama to plan this year’s 5K Race/Walk. While the Bay Rama organization is working out plans for the festival, we are planning the 5K event. Registration forms for the event will be made available, here, as soon as the schedule for the Festival and our event are finalized.
Just a reminder that participants in the Fun Run will need to know:
- Runners will be able to Pre-Register for the Fun Run ON-LINE. Watch here for a link to our Pre-Registration site and register and pay your registration fee. If you Pre-Register by April 1, 2021, our fee is $20.00, which must be received by April 1, 2021. Between April 1 and May 1, the Pre-Register fee is $30.00. After May 1, the Registration Fee will be $40.00. Students (With a valid Student ID) have a Registration Fee of $15.00. Registration will end on June 24, 2021. There will not be on-site registration available at the event. The race will begin at the corner of Washington Street and Front Street at 8:30am.
- All Registrations received will receive a T-Shirt. However, if the Registration is received after June 1, we will not be able to guarantee a T-Shirt in the appropriate size. We will do our best.
- Timing is included for all participants.
- With race issues and Covid-19, we will be making plans to have T-shirts and Race Bibs available for all paid participants near the starting line on Race Day. Please watch here for more information as we get closer to Race Day.
- Awards will be made to the Overall Finishers, both Male and Female. There will also be Awards to finishers, Male and Female, in age categories. Please see the Registration Application (when posted) for more information.
- In addition, participants 21 years of age or older on race day will receive one complimentary beer in the festival tent following the race. Please be sure to bring your ID to registration on race day. No exceptions!
However, in keeping with Covid-19 protocols, all participants will need to know that for this event:
- All runners will be required to wear a mask when not racing.
- We will begin the race with a "staggered start" rather than the group start that we have used in the past. Participants will start the race separated by 6-feet for social distancing at the start line. We do understand that it is difficult, if not impossible, to maintain a 6-foot distance between participants once the race starts, but we will encourage all participants to be sensitive to social distancing requirements.
- And lastly, we will not be presenting medals and awards at the end of the race. After the race and all results are finalized, we will be mailing (by USPS Mail) a medal and any awards received to participants (So an accurate address on the registration form is important).
- We thank you in advance for your understanding.
In addition, we are always looking for local sponsors for this event. If you are able and interested in helping sponsor this event, we have created two categories --- T-Shirt Sponsor and Event Sponsor. If you are interested, please contact us.
Funds raised through this event support various local and international activities of Rotary International. In addition, our primary goal is to provide a scholarship to a student of the graduating class of Anchor Bay High School and New Haven High School to defray the costs of their education after graduation.
