SafeHouse of Shelby County is bringing back #SafeHouseStrong Virtual 5K next month for the second year.
Participants can run or walk the distance at their own pace at the time and location of their choosing between Aug. 19-22 on a treadmill, park or neighborhood street.
Participants are encouraged to use the hashtag #SafeHouseStrong while training and during their virtual walk or run. Signup can be done online at runsignup.com/Race/AL/AnyTown/SafeHouseStrongVirtual5K.
