This fun and family friendly race supports CDF's work to build the capacity of the cooperative business community. This race honors cooperative hero, Chuck Snyder, whose "Do Well to Do Good," mantra continues to inspire.
The Co-op 5k is one of the ways CDF celebrates, promotes, and strengthens the cooperative identity. Embodying Cooperative Principles 6 and 7 - Cooperation among Cooperatives and Concern for Community - people gather every spring to help CDF raise money for co-op outreach, development, education, and ecosystem building.

FAQ
If I register for a virtual ticket, when can I run?
Participants will need to walk or run anytime between April 18 at 12:00am to May 1 at 11:59pm. Participating during this timeframe will allow for us to compile results, pictures and videos in time for an awards ceremony and recap of the in-person race on May 5.
Will I still receive race materials if I participate virtually?
Virtual participants will receive their t-shirt in the mail. Make sure to register with the address you want your race materials sent to. Register by March 13 to be guaranteed a t-shirt in your desired size. Participants that register after March 13 will receive a large t-shirt.
When can I expect race packets and t-shirts?
Race packets for virtual participants will be mailed out starting on March 26. In-person participants will receive their race packets at the registration desk on May 2 starting at 7:30am.
If I sign up for a virtual ticket, can I still run with people I registered with?
That depends on where you are, your comfort level, and if you practice proper social distancing rules. But if that's all good, sure!
How will my time be recorded for the virtual race?
You will record your own time - it is the honor system. Use a GPS tracker device (phone, watch, etc.) to record your time. Snap a picture when you're done and send to us.
Where will I submit my results?
Send your proof of time directly to CDF by completing this form.
Where will I submit my pictures and/or videos?
Send your pictures and/or videos to Kirstie Boyette by completing this form.
Will there be individual prizes given out?
The logistics of a virtual race doesn't allow us to send out individual prizes, but don't fret because eternal bragging rights will be captured on video for all to see. In-person participants will be eligible for individual prizes.
What group award categories are there?
Fastest Team, Highest Fundraisers, and Most Team Spirit
How do I watch the awards ceremony?
A link will be emailed to all registered participants prior to the start of the race.
