Our community is made up of superheroes! Santa Cruz County Parks recognizes the steps many of us are taking to care for our communities and ourselves. The Covengers Virtual  5K & 10K is a fun and safe opportunity to stay active and explore the beauty of our local environment.  Rather than inviting everyone to run at one place at one time, County Parks’ Covengers Virtual 5K & 10K allows participants to register, train, and complete the race wherever they may be (scroll down for suggested routes in County Parks)!  The only thing you need to do after registration is to run your distance during the race week!
