FAQS

MANAGE YOUR REGISTRATION:

 

ABOUT THE VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE

 
WHAT IS A VIRTUAL EVENT?

Chicago Spring Half Marathon & 10K Virtual is a Virtual Experience that can be completed anywhere. You may choose the Half Marathon or the 10K and may run or walk at your convenience and at your own pace anytime from May 20 to May 23, 2021. 

WHEN CAN YOU COMPLETE THE VIRTUAL EVENT?

You may complete the Virtual Experience anytime between May 20, 2021 to May 23, 2021. All results must be submitted by May 31, 2021.

IS THERE A SPECIFIC APP I NEED TO USE TO TRACK MY DISTANCES AND TIMES? 

You may track your distances and times with any app, watch, or fitness device that you would like. We will provide more details closer to the event date.

CAN I USE A TREADMILL? 

Yes, you may!

CAN I BREAK UP THE DISTANCE(S)?

While we do encourage athletes to complete each distance (10K or Half Marathon) of their virtual race in one effort, you are certainly able to break up the distance if you prefer or need to in order to comply with guidelines. The results will only allow for one submission, so if you opt to break into multiple runs/walks, you'll need to add your times together to submit at one time.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY RACE BOX?

If you register before May 6th, we will ship your Race Box in early-mid May to ensure your Race Box will arrive prior to the first day of race weekend on May 20th. If you register after May 6th, we will ship your Race Box 1-3 weeks after your registration date.

WHAT WILL I RECEIVE IN MY RACE BOX?

Your Race Box items will be based on which tier you sign up for. The Premium tier was created with the goal of bringing the full race experience to you, wherever you are, so that you're prepped for your run and for your post-run celebratory picnic! The Basic tier includes a shirt, bib, and medal! For a full list of items, please click here.

WILL YOU SHIP FINISHER KITS INTERNATIONALLY?

We highly encourage you to use a U.S. address during registration for your Race Box but we do have International Shipping available. If you choose International Shipping, you will incur a $30 Shipping Fee.

DOES THE VIRTUAL EVENT QUALIFY FOR THE CHICAGOLAND HALF MARATHON SERIES CHALLENGE?

Yes! For more information, please click here.
