Are you ready to kick off your Fourth of July weekend by testing your stamina and speed while crossing the finish line in a challenging and rewarding race? Then join us as we bring all of this excitement right to you with the Live Crown City Classic 5K Race!
Meet up with para-athlete and iFIT Trainer Kirstie Ennis as she races alongside you and other competitive runners in real time! Experience the competitiveness and exhilaration of a race as you run through an unforgettable 3.1 miles.
Are you ready to run the Crown City Classic 5K? Here’s what you need to know!
How it works
On July 3, 2021, at 10 a.m. ET, join Kirstie on your iFIT-enabled treadmill or elliptical. Don’t have a treadmill or an elliptical? You can also participate through your iFIT app on your smartphone or tablet. Take your race outside or to your local gym and join us!
You’ll virtually connect with Kirstie as she starts at Tidelands Park, where you'll run a scenic route overlooking Coronado Bridge. After running (or walking) an incredible 3.1 miles, you and Kirstie will cross the finish line back at Tidelands Park. The best part is that you won’t be doing this alone—run or walk the race in real time along with an entire community of iFIT members!
No worries if you can’t make the event live—the Crown City Classic 5K Race will be available to all iFIT members in the iFIT Library. Run with Kirstie by the Coronado Bay whenever you get the chance, and you can use it as a way to practice for the next live race!
When you cross that finish line and complete the race, you'll receive a limited-edition finisher’s medal—only available for those participating in the live race. We’ll send an email after you’ve completed the event with instructions on how to claim your exclusive reward.
Joining the race
Join us at the Crown City Classic 5K Race by tapping the “Live” icon on your iFIT-enabled treadmill, elliptical, or in the iFIT app. Join up to 10 minutes ahead of the start time, then scan the QR code to ask Kirstie your pre-race questions. She might just answer them during the race!
