I really love the idea of the Woolly Trot. It's all about getting up and moving, not about how fast you go. You do a 5K (that's 3.1 miles) distance on your own and then record your time in the Ravelry group.
I'm really excited to be a sponsor for this event again this year!
Here are all the specifics:
Between May 15th and May 31st do a 5K. This can be outside or on a treadmill. You can run, run/walk, or walk. It's all about getting out and moving. Remember, it doesn't matter how fast you go, you're lapping everyone sitting on the couch knitting!
You post your time in the Woolly Trot Group on Ravelry to be eligible for prizes. That's it! The prizes are based on participation, not on your time.
There's two ways to sign up for this 5K.
- If you would like swag (hello race t-shirt with a sheep on it), you can get those here. Be sure to use the coupon code "JLWTSP16" at checkout to get 10% off your order! Purchasing swag automatically registers you, there's no additional sign up fee.
- Don't need/want 5K goodies? No problem! You can sign up here for just $5.
Be sure to join the Woolly Trot 5K group on Ravelry too. That's where all the fun happens!
I really hope that you will join in if you can. If you've been interested in doing a 5K but haven't done one before, this is the perfect one for you! Everyone in the group is so supportive. You'll get lots of virtual cheers without having to worry about your time. It's definitely the perfect 5K for me. :)
