Donut Run FAQs

​CAN I REGISTER TO RUN/WALK AT THE EVENT?

• Yes, walk-up registrations are available starting at 7:30am. You can also register at Early Packet Pick-up on Friday, November 19th, from 3:00pm to 7:00pm at ASK’s office located at 5211 West Broad Street, Suite 100, Richmond, VA.

EVENT SAFETY MEASURES?

• This year the event will be held at the Bon Secours Training Center where we can safely spread out, stay socially-distant and have a sweet time! We will ask everyone to wear a mask while gathered at the start line. Volunteers will be required to sign our Covid safety & precautions waiver; and volunteers handing out food & drink will be required to wear gloves and a mask. 
  
  There is also the option to register and particpate virtually! Just choose the virtual 5K option to receive your swag and help to make life better for children with cancer.
  
  *St. Christopher's School continues to be a wonderful partner to ASK; but we recognize that school is in-session and for the safety of the student body, staff and particpants we have chosen a public venue for this year.

REGISTRATION FEES?

• Your walk/run registration includes a t-shirt, finisher medal, and Dunkin' finisher's breakfast. Because you receive these awesome goodies in return, your registration is not tax deductible but donations are!

REGISTRATION FOR KIDS?

• All kids aged 6 or older must register to take part in the 5K. They will receive a bib number, t-shirt and medal. Kids aged 5 or below can register for the Kids Donut Dash where they will receive a bib number and medal, and can join you afterwards on the 5K course.

CHIP TIMING?

• Registered runners will have timing chips. During registration you will have the option to choose if you'd like to sign-up as a runner with chip timing, or a walker with no chip timing. Results will be posted on this site as soon as possible after the event. A timing clock will also be in view at the start and finish lines.

REFUNDS?

• We're sorry, but we do not offer refunds at this time. If you are unable to participate, you are welcome to pick up your t-shirt and goody bag at early packet pick-up. We’re also happy to convert your registration to a donation. Contact Sarah Kelly at skelly@askccf.org or call the office at 804-658-5910.
