Mark your calendars for a celebration of all things SOCKS! December 4th is National Sock Day, and we're thrilled to host our first annual National Sock Day 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, 13.1, 26.2 event. Join us in honoring the diverse designs, shapes, and sizes of this beloved accessory!
But that's not all—December is also Give the Gift of Sight Month, and we're dedicated to making a difference. By participating in our race, you'll be contributing to a worthy cause, as we donate a minimum of 15% of each registration fee to Research to Prevent Blindness. This organization plays a crucial role in funding major eye research across 37 leading scientific institutions in the U.S., supporting the groundbreaking work of talented vision scientists engaged in diverse disease-oriented research.
Our event offers the flexibility you need to participate with ease. Throughout the entire month of December 2023, you can complete your chosen distance—whether it's 1 mile, 5K, 10K, 13.1, or 26.2—at your convenience. People of all ages are welcome to join in the fun and support this important cause.
As a token of your achievement and contribution, each participant will receive a splendid medal and a bib to proudly wear. Your registration fee of $18 covers these keepsakes and ensures a meaningful donation to charity. To make it even better, medals and bibs will begin shipping by mid-November 2023, so you can proudly display your accomplishment.
Let's come together on National Sock Day, celebrating the joy of socks while making a significant impact on eye research. Register now and be part of this memorable event that gives back to a worthy cause.
