Participants can walk, run, or move from anywhere during the week-long event while helping raise funds to support families of fallen cooperative employees. The virtual format allows individuals and teams to participate at their own pace and from any location. Registration is $40, plus processing fee. Proceeds from the event benefit the Cooperative Family Fund.

"We invite everyone to join us in making a difference for cooperative families," said Jennifer Veeser, vice president of electrification and member experience at Beltrami Electric Cooperative. "Every step taken during the Virtual 5K helps provide support and assistance to families facing difficult circumstances."
