WELCOME TO THE VIRTUAL USOLE BURGERS & BEER 5K...Due to COVID-19, many fun runs and races have been canceled or postponed to a later date. This includes our own USOLE Burgers and Beer Fun Run series. We miss meeting up and running with everyone, so we are going to a virtual run where we invite everyone to be part of the USOLE Virtual Burgers & Beer 5k and complete a solo 5k (w/ Social Distancing guidelines adhered to) by April 30th, 2020. All participants registered and complete the 5k (virtually) will receive a custom B&B 5k Medal (see pic) and a Virtual USOLE B&B 5k tech short-sleeve t-shirt! Proceeds from this event will go to support the Lakeview Pantry and all the good work they do in the community! Consider joining us virtually for the USOLE Virtual Burgers & Beer 5K!
