2020 Florence Nightingale 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2 

May 12th will be Florence Nightingale’s 200th Birthday!  Florence Nightingale, OM, RRC, DStJ was an English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organized care for wounded soldiers. We are excited to honor her 200th birthday with our Florence Nightingale 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2.   The quote on the medal says, “I attribute my success to this – I never gave up or took any excuse.”

Plus, we will also be donating 15% of every registration to the Florence Nightingale Foundation, an amazing organization who’s mission is “To pioneer change and improvements in patient and health outcomes, through nursing and midwifery clinical and research leadership, honouring Florence Nightingale’s legacy.”

*For a limited time you can purchase an official t-shirt and/or hoodie HERE!

What: This is a 1M 5K 10K 13.1 or 26.2 virtual race in honor of Florence Nightingale!  You choose which distance you will complete.

When: Complete your race any time in May, even better if it’s May 12th!

*Medals and bibs will start shipping out mid-April. After that they will ship out within 2 to 5 days of signing up.

Where:  You choose the course and you time yourself (you’ll report your finishing time to us).

Why:  Because this is our way of celebrating the founder of modern nursing!

Cost:  The price is $22 and that includes your medal, bib and shipping. Plus, at least 15% of every entry will be donated to Florence Nightingale Foundation. *We are in no way affiliated with this charity, we like to choose a different charity for each of our races and are happy to raise funds for them.
