Treat YoSelf (to froyo) and benefit local charities by participating in the FroYo 5K, a new 15 city fun run from XRL Events.
FroYo 5K, which incorporates froyo as the theme of the fun run, lets participants “run, walk, swirl or twirl through the course. The race is complete with FroZones, which are misting tunnels topped with motivational music to keep you going through the race.” Everyone gets a cup of froyo with toppings and a froyo goodie bag at the end of the run. You can even wear a froyo costume and you might win the Best Costume prize. The race is for all ages. Participants enjoy a pre-party, after-party and a chance to win contests and prizes.
The first run took place in Mesa, Arizona on March 7, 2015 with a portion of the proceeds going to Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Participants received Yogurtland froyo and toppings after the run. The froyo and toppings will vary by city but expect 2-4 froyo flavors to choose from.
Additional runs are planned for San Diego (5/2), Henderson (5/9), Scottsdale (5/30), Boulder (6/17), Highlands Ranch, CO (6/21), Kansas City, MO (6/27), Salt Lake City (7/11), Sacramento (8/1), Seattle (7/25), San Jose (8/15), and San Francisco (9/6). Some of the cities will have 5K and 10K runs.
According to Francis Donovan, CEO of XRL Events, “runners like to indulge a little after their run and frozen yogurt is the perfect post-run treat. It’s healthier than ice cream, it’s engaging and people love it. FroYo 5K’s fun froyo theme is also family friendly.” Participants range from competitive runners to beginners, from kids to adults of all ages.
To get your froyo to you quickly, they’ll take your froyo order and prepare the cup of froyo with your choice of toppings for you. The most popular topping has been “gummy bears by far.”
