Phoenix Society's Virtual 5k

We are better together, but safer apart ... Let's stay connected this spring as we run, jog or walk - virtually!


What: Phoenix Society Virtual 5k 2021: “Putting the MOVE in MOVEMENT”

When: March 15, 2021 – May 31, 2021

Who: Members and supporters of the burn community

Where: You choose! Your neighborhood, your favorite trail, or steps in your living room

Why: At Phoenix Society we understand that a movement is greater than one person. Help us put the ‘move’ in movement this spring!

Goal: To raise $20,000 for Phoenix Society programs

What does a virtual 5k mean? It means that you can complete your 5k anywhere or any time. Whether it's a treadmill, your neighborhood, your favorite trail, or steps in your living room! This is a "your pace - your race" event. Run or walk - it's your choice!

Keeping Your Cool During Exercise

Both burn injuries and skin grafting can cause damage to sweat glands, the tiny parts of your skin that produce sweat to keep you cool. This means that burn survivors have more trouble keeping themselves cool, especially in hot and humid environments.
