The Birthday 4K+
Clover Glove has a long tradition of celebrating holidays. Celebrating your birthday, we ask you to run/walk a 4K+ on your special day. The distance you travel will be determined by your age. All participants should run a virtual 4K and add distance based on age, at the location of your choice. For example, if you are 72, you run a 4.72K. If you are 34, you run a 4.34K. Older folks will have to use our experience and travel a little further. The Birthday 4K+ may be run anywhere. Submit time via Run Signup, per usual. Understanding that each runner will place first, all participants submitting results will be rewarded 10 Clover Glove points and receive credit for a race completed. The entry fee is $19.04 (the birthday of Georgia 4-H). Of course, you can donate to 4-H since it’s your birthday as well. This race is included for those paying an annual membership.
