Are you looking for something fun and healthy to do this weekend or next week while contributing to a good cause? The Virtual UPS 5K kicks off this Sunday, September 27, and continues through Friday, October 2.

Besides being a great way to stay fit, proceeds from the UPS 5K will benefit the United Way of Miami-Dade. Since 1924, this organization has dedicated itself to raising funds to assist with charitable community efforts, focusing largely on income, health, and education initiatives. It has partnered with neighborhood associations, schools, government agencies, and more to drive support, respond to needs, and assist those less fortunate.

Registration fees for the UPS 5K are just $35. Among the perks you’ll receive, a virtual race bib, a drawstring backpack, and even a carefully chosen playlist to listen to on the popular music streaming app Spotify to keep you motivated will help you achieve your goal. Plus, you’ll know your money is going toward a noble cause, which is always a plus!

Remember that because it’s a virtual race, you can complete the 5K just about anywhere. Use your treadmill at home, run laps at a scenic park near your home, the options are endless!
