While we are practicing social distancing and staying indoors the JPPM Virtual 5K Run/Walk is a great way to stay active. Sign up with a friend, family or group, arrange to run or walk at a specific time and participate together, whilst running or walking apart. Challenge yourself and make this your first ever 5K! There is no set way in which to run this race. It is up to you. Check out the Training web page for some great tips and links!
Calvert Hospice is a small, independent nonprofit organization that provides care to those with a life-limiting illness.

MAP YOUR RACE
Use the JPPM marked course or map your own.
The JPPM course starts at the park pavilion with a slight incline while providing glimpses of the Patuxent River. The second mile is all down hill heading toward Patterson Point. The final mile starts with a sharp incline and levels off as you approach the park pavilion and the finish line. The entire course is on the park.
The park will remain open during the virtual race. Please be aware of your surroundings and use crosswalks when crossing roads and look both ways. Obey normal traffic laws.

VIRTUAL RACE SAFETY TIPS
- Plan for your run/walk. Water fountains or sources may not be available along your route so please come prepared. If you are planning to run the marathon, please bring your choice of salty snack.
- Bring ID in case of an emergency.
- Notify someone when you start your run and then when you are done. Let them know where you are running.
- If listening to music only use one earbud and leave your other ear open to listen for potential hazards.
- Wear bright or reflective clothing.
- Call 911 with any emergency right away.
- Lastly and most importantly, use common sense and listen to your body — don’t overdo it.
FAQ
- How do I track my time? We accept results on the honor system, so you can track your distance and time however you like.
- Do I have to complete the entire distance all at once? Most participants complete their run all at once, but we understand that not everyone is able to complete our minimum 5k distance in one outing.
- What if I can’t complete my run during the race period? Feel free to submit your results whenever you DO complete your run, so we can add your time to our Event Results and your photo to our to the Finish Line web page.
- Where do I upload my results? Right HERE. You can also submit a race photo if you’d like for the Finish Line web page.
- Am I automatically entered into the raffle? No. You most post a picture on social media using the #JPPM5KCalvert Hospice in order to be entered into the raffle.
- Is my donation tax deductible? Yes. Calvert Hospice and the Friends of JPPM are both 501(c)(3) non profit organizations.
