With support from the cooperative community through fundraisers like the Co-op 5k, CDF has helped incubate, replicate, and elevate cooperative across sectors in the U.S. and internationally for 80 years. The 2024 race raised over $75,000 for cooperative development. In 2023, CDF was able to provide nearly $2M in resources to cooperators worldwide. Save the date for the 2025 race - April 19 - May 3.

FAQs
If I register for a virtual ticket, when can I run?
Participants will need to walk or run anytime between April 20 at 12:00am to May 3 at 11:59pm. Participating during this timeframe will allow for us to compile results, pictures and videos in time for an awards ceremony and recap of the in-person race on May 7.
Will I still receive race materials if I participate virtually?
Virtual participants will receive their t-shirt in the mail. Make sure to register with the address you want your race materials sent to. Register by March 31 to be guaranteed a t-shirt in your desired size. Participants that register after March 31 will receive a large t-shirt.
When can I expect race packets and t-shirts?
Race packets for virtual participants will be mailed out starting on April 4. In-person participants will receive their race packets at the registration desk on May 4 starting at 7:30am.
If I sign up for a virtual ticket, can I still run with people I registered with?
That depends on where you are, your comfort level, and if you practice proper social distancing rules. But if that's all good, sure!
How will my time be recorded for the virtual race?
You will record your own time - it is the honor system. Use a GPS tracker device (phone, watch, etc.) to record your time. Snap a picture when you're done and send to us.
Where will I submit my results?
Send your proof of time directly to CDF by completing this form.
Where will I submit my pictures and/or videos?
Send your pictures and/or videos to Kirstie Boyette by completing this form.
Will there be individual prizes given out?
The logistics of a virtual race doesn't allow us to send out individual prizes, but don't fret because eternal bragging rights will be captured on video for all to see. In-person participants will be eligible for individual prizes.
What group award categories are there?
Fastest Team, Highest Fundraisers, and Most Team Spirit
How do I watch the awards ceremony?
A link will be emailed to all registered participants prior to the start of the race.
