Dear {{ participant_first_name }},

Thank you for pre-registering for the in-person Standing Up to POTS 5K/2K, happening on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio. We’re excited to have you join us in raising awareness and funding for POTS research!

Event Details:

• Location: Outside Wittenberg’s Student Center (734 Woodlawn Avenue, Springfield, OH)

• Check-In Opens: 10:00 a.m.

• Race Starts: 11:00 a.m. sharp

• Weather: Rain or shine – please dress appropriately

To speed up your check-in, you can print and complete the liability waiver ahead of time. We must have a signed waiver for every participant before the race begins. Paper copies will also be available at the check-in table.

Course Options:

We’re offering two route options, both using the same paths as last year. View course maps here.

• 5K Competitive Run/Walk – Follow the BLUE signs

• Awards for the top 3 male and female overall finishers

• Medals for the top 3 male and female finishers in each age group

• Special recognition for the top 3 male and female finishers with POTS

• 2K Fun Walk – Follow the RED signs

• A noncompetitive, relaxed route ideal for shorter distances

• No awards for the 2K route

Please stay on sidewalks where possible and use caution when crossing side streets. Our routes do not cross major streets, but always be aware of traffic.

Bring a Friend!
Walk-in registrations are welcome starting at 10:00 a.m., so feel free to invite friends and family to join you for the event.

Quiet Space for POTS Families:
For those living with POTS, we’ve reserved the small and peaceful Li Room inside the Student Center. You’re welcome to rest, elevate your feet, or connect with others in the POTS community during the event.

We can’t wait to see you there and are grateful to have your support!

Warm regards,
Cathy Pederson
