Run, Walk, or Do Something Else . . . and Support the Sportula!
Go Greece lightning — you’re burning up the 3.1 miles!
Greased Lightning is a virtual 5k to raise money for The Sportula (if you aren't familiar with The Sportula, definitely go check them out!).
The suggested donation is $25, but you can contribute anything more or less, as you're able. Since it's a virtual 5k, you can pick a time and place that works well for you. Ideally, try to participate in the mid-October through mid-November area, but that's more of a suggestion than a rule.
If you're teaching (or student-ing), invite your class to participate! Heck, organize a class run!
Any activity submitted before December 1st is eligible for prizes! What prizes? They're mostly just titles based loosely on Homeric epithets, but they come with a hearty helping of glory (κλέος), and we all know that's the most important part anyway.
Can't run? No problem! You can do any other sort of activity, physical or mental -- get creative! 31 reps of some sort of weight lifting? Baller! 3,100 words written? Awesome!
