Revs, Mass Youth Soccer Team Up for TOPSoccer Virtual 5K

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution have teamed up with Mass Youth Soccer to host the TOPSoccer Virtual 5K this week from today, March 22 through Sunday, March 28. The week-long virtual initiative will raise funds for Mass Youth Soccer’s TOPSoccer Program, a community-based training and team placement program for young athletes with disabilities.

Participants are welcome to register as individuals or as a team to compete against family and friends in the virtual 5-kilometer (or 3.1 mile) race during the week of March 22. All those who register can complete the race at any time during the week and in any setting – indoors on a treadmill or outdoors – and must record their performance via a running app of the participant’s choice (Strava, Map My Run, etc.). Those who cannot social distance while running or walking are asked to wear a mask. Participants can share their results, along with photos in their Revs gear, by taking screenshots and emailing them toTOPsoccer@mayouthsoccer.org or via social media using the hashtags #TOPsoccer5K and #NERevs.

Registration can be accessed here and includes a print-at-home 5K runner’s bib, one ticket voucher for a Revolution match in 2021, and a $10 donation to TOPSoccer. In addition, Putnam Club tickets and gift cards will be awarded to division winners, and additional raffle prizes will be available through social media.

TOPSoccer is a community-based training and team placement program for young athletes with disabilities, organized by youth soccer association volunteers. The program is designed to bring the opportunity of learning and playing soccer to any boy or girl who has a mental or physical disability. TOPSoccer’s goal is to enable the thousands of young athletes with disabilities to become valued and successful members of the U.S. Youth Soccer family. A brief video on the TOPSoccer program can be found here.
