2020 Apollo 13 50th Anniversary 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2 –

*THIS IS A VIRTUAL RACE!

Apollo 13 launched 50 years ago on April 11, 1970.   The lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank in the service module (SM) failed two days into the mission. The crew instead looped around the Moon, and returned safely to Earth on April 17, 1970. Thankfully the team all survived the mission.   We celebrate the Anniversary of their safe landing with our Apollo 13 50th Anniversary 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2.

 
Plus, wee will be donating at least 15% of each registration to the Challenger Center. In the aftermath of the Challenger accident, the crew’s families came together, firmly committed to the belief that they must carry on the spirit of their loved ones by continuing the Challenger crew’s educational mission. Their efforts resulted in the creation of Challenger Center for Space Science Education. Challenger Center and its global network of Challenger Learning Centers use space-themed simulated learning and role-playing strategies to help students bring their classroom studies to life and cultivate skills needed for future success, such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication and teamwork. Challenger Center reaches hundreds of thousands of students, and tens of thousands of teachers every year.
