5K for FFA will be a virtual 5K to promote health and well-being amongst the 100,000 California FFA members and alumni across the state. Participants across California will enjoy running or walking a 5K route of their choice during 5K for FFA, October 8 through October 14, 2023. In its third year, the 5k for FFA started during the pandemic, as a way to get FFA members, ag teachers, families, and alumni connected, active, and moving. While it remains a virtual and at-your-own-pace event, it has evolved to include mini-5Ks on campuses, and in communities where groups gather to complete the 5K, to companies and organizations participating during their workday as a way to promote a healthy workplace and lifestyle, all while showing their support of the California FFA. Starting in September and leading up to the race, there will be weekly challenges with fun and motivating activities posted on social media platforms and a playlist added to California FFA’s Spotify account. Sponsors will have an opportunity to add a motivational or wellness message to share with California FFA members through social media channels.
Post your 5K for FFA times from October 8th-October 14th through the ITS app. This link will provide you with step-by-step instructions to post your time(s) via the app or manually. Final overall times will become live on October 14th. This is not available for Chapter Teams or Sponsored Teams.
