Virtual running works exactly the same as any other type of running but the difference is that the entered race can be run at any location, at any pace, inside on a treadmill or outside in another country! All you have to do is register and be able to time your run or walk over a measured distance of 8k (4.97 miles).
Run/walks accomplished from March 1 through March 15 can be counted.
You can expect the following emails:
March 1 @ 8am - reminder that the event is now underway
March 1 @ 5pm - notice of how to report your time
March 10 @ 10am - reminder to complete your run and report your time
March 15 @ 10am - last chance reminder to complete your run and report your time by 11:59pm
Each email will contain a link for reporting the data. You can also go to the RESULTS link at the top of this page or on the Score This running calendar.
Participants in the Virtual Race can also download the RaceJoy app and complete your personal run/walk with your own 5k course anywhere. (RaceJoy is a free phone app for iPhone & Android devices.)
