Healthy West Orange is challenging residents to a virtual 5K, and participants can complete the 3.1 miles at their own pace, wherever they want, whenever they want.

Participants can bike the West Orange Trail, hike the Oakland Nature Preserve or Rollerblade around their neighborhood. They can break it up into segments, too.

Complete the 5K between now and Sept. 30 by emailing a photo to [email protected] or use #healthyselfie5K (Facebook), #healthywestorange (Instagram) and tag @healthywestorange (Twitter).

Participants earn a sweet (and free) race T-shirt and medal, just like an in-person event.

For info on race T-shirt and medal pick-up visit facebook.com/events/644221472858099.
