Event Description
The Annual Broadway Bank 5k has gone virtual! Registration is easy and free!
Let's start pre-emptively burning those holiday calories and join BNB employes on a virtual 5k adventure!
The goal is for you to complete a 5k by running and/or walking. You can choose from several routes around the city. The routes will be shared with you using an app you can easily download on your phone.
Steps to download STRAVA App:
- Search for Strava on your Google Play store or iPhone App store
- Download the app and create a username and login
- Choose the "Free" option ( you are not required to pay for the app in order to participate in the 5k)
- Once you log in and create your free profile choose the "Explore" link and search for Broadway Bank under "Clubs"
- Choose to join the club and once you've been approved you will receive a text with the pre-approved running routes that you can follow on Strava
How to use the Strava App:
- The app will track your distance, pace, calorie burn, and allow you to submit photos that you take throughout the route.
- Your results will be posted on your Strava account as soon as you save your workout
- Every week the Broadway Bank Strava club will post weekly results (leaderboard) showing participants achievements!
If you choose not to use the Strava app or have limited capabilities on your phone we will email you the routes and you can submit your results by email.
