The 38th Annual Wildflower Run is a go — with a twist. Due to the global pandemic, the run is virtual this year and offering some unique, fun perks.

The run was also virtual last year as the original shelter in place orders were issued just weeks before the scheduled 2020 event.

Be one of the first to register for their Early-Bird registration pack and be guaranteed a 2021 limited edition T-shirt. All proceeds fund scholarships, leadership programs for women and girls, community grants, and other programming supporting equity for women and girls.

It is a virtual run, allowing you to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself, from March 20 through 28, 2021. Be sure to register early as the first 400 runners are guaranteed this year’s limited edition T-shirt in their size.

In addition to a T-shirt, special to the Wildflower Run virtual event, they are offering unique bonus swag (baby-T’s for the stroller event and themed medals for youth), a variety of prizes (with the opportunity for all participants to enter to win), and extra support for runners and walkers (such as free running app recommendations to help with finding a route or recording your time). Run or walk your chosen distance from any location. Choose whether to have your packet mailed to you (for a nominal fee), pick it up (for people living in or near Morgan Hill, March 20 or March 21 at a designated location.
