The Nellie Johnstone 5k & Half Marathon 2020

Short review

NEW Virtal Finish Date - May 3, 2020.

Due to COVID-19 precautions, we have decided to make this year's annual Nellie Johnstone 5K & Half Marathon a virtual race.  We know registrants have been training and want to continue to support our mission, so we are excited to offer this alternative. Proceeds benefit the Bluestem Medical Foundation for Ascension Medical Group St. John Heart and Vascular Center programs and FLOWCo-Fitness Lovers of Washington County, a FREE community walk/run fitness program. Bluestem Medical Foundation is an affiliate of the Bartlesville Community Foundation.

Here's how the virtual race will work:

Registrants will have from April 25th through May 3rd to run the race distance continuously and email their time to wellnessconnection@ascension.org.

The top three overall male and female winners in the 5K and Half Marathon distance events will be awarded place medals.   ALL participants who complete the Half Marathon will receive a custom medal!

To be eligible for awards, you must send in a picture of your activity tracker such as an app that measures distance and time from your phone, FitBit, etc. to wellnessconnection@ascension.org.

Register by April 12 to guarantee your shirt. T-shirts are cotton and unisex.

Shirt and Award Pick Up: All registrants can pick up their race shirts, medals, and awards the week of May 4th at Ascension St. John Jane Phillips, 3500 SE Frank Phillips Blvd, Bartlesville, OK 74006. Exact pick up location is to be determined. If you are not local to NE Oklahoma, we will mail your items to you.
