The 43rd Annual Gorilla Grind 5K Run/Walk sponsored by the Rotary Club of Pittsburg, Kansas, will look a little different in 2020. Due to the pandemic and the need to keep all racers as safe as possible, the race will be virtual this year. The race is typically held on homecoming weekend for Pittsburg State University. This year, we invite all registrants to run or walk anytime during the month of October 2020. You pick the time and place. Our hope is to get participants from all over the world.

• Premium soft tri-blend long sleeve shirt
• GG5K Finisher Medal
• GG5K Luggage Tag
• Other sponsor coupons and swag

Local Pick-Up for Swag packet is at the Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce during regular office hours. Shipping packets will require an extra fee of $6.95 which must be chosen as an add-on. You will be contacted via email when you can pick-up the packets. Packets will be available after the close of the event.

We encourage all registrants to post pictures on our Facebook page GorillaGrind5K.
