Sexual Assault Awareness Month

SAPR Run/Walk Virtual 5K 2020

By MCLB Barstow SAPR Program

Complete your 5k anytime between April 13, 2020, 0700am – April 29, 2020, 1200pm

April is recognized as Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. The SAPR Program is commemorating this by inviting you to complete the SAPR Run/Walk Virtual 5K, giving you the chance to #BeTheDifference.

The month is an opportunity to highlight the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program’s effort to care for victims and its innovative ways of working to infuse prevention practices into our daily mission. To bring awareness to this month the SAPR program is inviting you to complete the SAPR Run/Walk Virtual 5K, a 3.1 mile race that can be completed anytime between April 13 and April 29. Active Duty, their dependents over 18, Reservists, and Veterans are encouraged to complete the mileage in creative ways! Record distance and time on a fitness tracking device using your Fitbit, Apple watch, etc! Get creative! Walk your stairs at home. Use an indoor bike or treadmill if you have one.

The 1st 50 participants registered will receive a SAPR Run/Walk Virtual 5K goodie bag! Participants are encouraged to at least complete the 5K, but the top 3 participants with the fastest times will receive a SAPR Run/Walk Virtual 5K plaque of completion.

*Take a screen shot of the mileage and time completed from your Fitbit, Apple Watch, etc., post your screenshots on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MCCSBarstowBehavioralHealth or email it to michelle.lawing@usmc.mil
