GFAC Runs the Happy Little 5k on Earth Day!

When MDNR first announced the Bob Ross Happy Little 5k in 2019, we knew this was a virtual race we wanted to do together as a club. Looking at the timeline for completion, Earth Day made perfect sense. What better way to celebrate Mother Earth than with a Bob Ross themed 5k through some Happy Little Trees? That is right, there is no better way. So we are going with the second best way, a day of virtual connection with some GFAC style raffles! You do not need to be registered for the Bob Ross Happy Little 5k to be part of the GFAC Earth Day fun.

To add some hype to the virtual run, we've got several awesome gift cards to raffle off. Here is just a sampling what you could win on Wednesday:

• Crust Gift Cards, (2x$10, $25)
• Complete Runner Gift Card (5x$10)
• Great Harvest Bread Gift Cards ($20, $40)
• Bauman's Running & Walking Shop Gift Cards ($50, $25)
• Flint Crepe Company Gift Card ($25)
• Crim Festival of Races Entry
• Mystery Swag Bags! I don't even know what I put in those things. Total mystery.

All of these awesome prizes were donated by members! I appreciate the support that allows us to pull off these fun days and stay connected! Winners will be announced on Friday, April 24.
