Panthers holding Virtual 5K with proceeds benefiting COVID-19 fund

The Florida Panthers have the perfect solution for people feeling cooped up by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Panthers are hosting the Territorial Trot Virtual 5K where participants can run the distance and upload their times any dates between April 17-20.

Anyone can participate with a $10 donation, with proceeds going to the Panthers Foundation's COVID-19 relief efforts. Florida encourages participants to track their runs with the adidas Run mobile app or any fitness-tracking app.

"We sought ways to continue to engage fans in our passion for competition, continue our pledge to encourage physical fitness in our territory and support local COVID-19 efforts," said Panthers senior vice president Shawn Thornton. "Through this Virtual 5K, our team carefully designed an opportunity for our Panthers family to gather in a digital medium built upon fitness, charity and a sense of community."

Participants can register for the race here, where they can donate more to the relief fund or sign up to receive a mystery puck signed by a member of the Panthers.
