TheOneRing.net is hosting a series of four VIRTUAL 5K RACES<\/strong> in May. Each race will reflect a leg of the Fellowship\u2019s journey through Middle-earth (though not in actual miles, of course). A new race will be posted on the first four Fridays in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5k races (3.1 miles) can be run or walked at home or any location you choose (please follow your town\u2019s current rules). You can run, jog, walk, use a treadmill, climb your stairs, or us an elliptical \u2013 whatever is most convenient and safe for you. 30 minutes of exercise can also count as 1 mile. Run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself \u2013 our 5k’s are on the honor system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you start each race, download a RACE BIB<\/strong> here<\/a> or from TORn\u2019s \u201cThe World and Works of J.R.R. Tolkien\u201d<\/a><\/strong> Facebook page. Write your name, nickname, or race time in the white box, then you can stop by the Facebook page and post a photo wearing your bib. Once you have completed each race, let us know! Download a PDF of your finisher CERTIFICATE HERE<\/a><\/strong> and share a photo to our Facebook page. If you complete all four races, an additional special certificate can be yours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first 5k is THE SHIRE SPRINT<\/strong>. It virtually follows the footsteps of the Hobbits as they race from Hobbiton to the Inn of the Prancing Pony at Bree with the Black Riders on their heels. If you\u2019re so inclined, reading the same section of \u201cThe Fellowship of the Ring\u201d might add a bit of color to your journey. Above all else, have fun. On your mark, get set, go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bibs and certificates were designed by TORN staff member Mithril, aka Nancy Steinman.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
