IMPORTANT RACE INFORMATION
Due to the rapidly developing Coronavirus (COVID-19), and to ensure safety for our community, the Jefferson County Health Department recommended the canceling of gatherings of 500+ people.
Our Rumpshaker 5K Race Committee and Board of Directors understand the disappointment that comes with having the event canceled. As a result, we will hold a VIRTUAL RUMPSHAKER RACE WEEKEND for 2020!
For many of us this event is more than a race, it’s a celebration of life or a special way to remember those we love. The Coronavirus is an unprecedented global health issue and acting responsibly to protect our participants, volunteers and community is our top priority.
We feel that hosting a virtual race is an excellent option that will continue to provide an experience of camaraderie and solidarity for our runners/walkers.

- You can complete the race wherever you like - indoors, on a treadmill, run around your neighborhood or walk around the block.
Why offer a virtual race option?
- To provide the opportunity for smaller groups to gather and complete your 5K or 1 Mile Fun Run as if you were at the actual race! In fact, we would love for you to share photos with us of your group over the VIRTUAL RUMPSHAKER RACE WEEKEND by tagging us in your photos on Facebook and Instagram.
