Registration for Virtual Event

Join us on Saturday September 4, 2021 at TY Park for the inaugural Strides for Sunny 5K OR join us virtually and participate at the location of your choice anytime on September 4th.  The Strides for Sunny 5K honors Sunny LaValle who was tragically killed while living one of her loves, cycling.  Sunny, a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend to so many, was lawfully cycling in the bike lane on Bonaventure Blvd on Sunday May 23, 2021 when she was struck from behind by a reckless driver.  The event proceeds will help start a foundation on behalf of Sunny.  We ask that you join us as we run/walk in honor of Sunny.

Our theme for the Strides with Sunny 5K is rainbow tutu’s.  We want to honor Sunny with as many participants as possible wearing a rainbow tutu.  We are excited for the music, entertainment, and celebration the event will provide, but we need your energy and support to make this the greatest honor to our friend.  Each participant will receive the follow event items:  personalized race bib with RFID timing chip, event shirt, finisher medal, and personalized race completion certificate.  The 5K will be a chipped timed event with awards provided for top 3 overall, masters, and age groups.  The age groups are as follows:  Men’s/Women’s 1-8; 9-14; 15-19; 20-24; 25-29; 30-34; 35-39; 40-44; 45-49; 50-54; 55-59; 60-64; 65-69; 70-74; 75-79; 80+.

Do you want to show your support of Sunny but would prefer a shortly distance?   We have you covered.  Following the 5K we will host the Strides for Sunny – 1 mile walk.  You will receive  bib, finisher medal, and event shirt and move at a pace you are comfortable.  Click the blue “Click to Register” button and then select “Strides for Sunny – 1 Mile Walk”.

STRIDES FOR SUNNY 5K – Virtual Option

We are looking forward to the support of Sunny’s friends, family, and the South Florida community.  The event committee has decided to add a virtual option to the Strides for Sunny 5K.  You now have the option to participate in the inaugural event virtually.  The virtual platform allows anyone to show their support and participate, without being exposed to the large group at the in-person event.  All virtual participants will receive the complete race packet, which includes the personalized Strides for Sunny 5K race bib, event shirt, and finisher medal.  We have provided each virtual participant with an event app, which will track your time and distance on September 4th, allow you to view/submit pictures, view results, and more.  Please see the instructional guide below to downloading the event app.  To participate virtually, please click the registration button above (be sure to select the Virtual Registration Button).  We look forward to seeing so many smiling faces on September 4th, whether in-person or virtually.
