Description:
The Literacy Volunteers of the New River Valley presents the Third Annual Triwizard Tri-Mile Race which will be held virtually starting on Friday, July 31, 2020 through Saturday, August 29, 2020.

Calling all wizards of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin! Literacy Volunteers of the NRV invites you to fly in for this year's race to benefit its adult and family literacy programs. This year’s event will be as invisible as the Invisible Book of Invisibility!

Between July 31st (Harry’s birthday) and August 29th (Hogwarts move-in day), muggles, wizards and 4-legged/1-headed beasts will run or walk three miles through the wizarding world with the option to choose between two journeys:

1. The Invisibility Cloak Quest: Follow your own path through the wizarding world and race three miles your way including your pace, your space (wherever and whenever you choose).

2. The Marauder’s Map Challenge: Venture into the Forbidden Forest of Bisset Park (Radford, VA) and use a map and clues to complete the three-mile course and find the seven Horcruxes to defeat He Who Must Not Be Named. Solve Tom Riddle’s riddles to decode the secret message!

Racers will submit their three-mile times and photos via an online form.

The Potter in the Virtual Park event will feature costume contests (for adults, youth and pets), age group awards, “floo network” prizes, quilt raffle, a house competition and lots of magical swag and fun for all!

Registration will remain open until noon on Saturday, August 29th.

Upon registration, racers will receive an email with a letter that includes details of the journey (with links to the Maurader’s Map Quest and clues), a printable customized bib for racing and more fun.

To register your time and/or submit your photos for the costume contest, visit: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/17VfbBKCkosRMpu680RrrSlCfFGftPdWkP7QnZP8fnm8/viewform?edit_requested=true&pli=1.

All wizard racers will receive a magical Potter t-shirt, a lightning bolt tattoo, a SPEW button (compliments of Radford Public Library), printable race bib, and a handcrafted magic wand made specifically for you! Magical creatures will receive a Potter-themed bandanna.

Raffle tickets for a specially themed Potter in the Park quilt are also available for $5.00 each or $20.00 for a pack of five raffle tickets.
