The ninth annual Chase the Chief 5K and Fun Run is going virtual this year. Registration is open, and participants will be able to participate at their own pace in their own space March 7-12.

Participants can track their distance on a fitness app, take a screenshot, and email it to chasethechief@georgetown.org to be entered into a prize drawing. All submissions are due by 5 p.m. March 14.

Registration for the event is priced at $5 for students and $10 for adults. Register by Jan. 31 to receive a T-shirt. Packet pick up will be from 11 a.m.- 7 p.m. March 3-5 at the Public Safety Operations and Training Center, 3500 D.B. Wood Road.

Proceeds from this event will help fund grants for physical education programs at Georgetown area schools.
