Virtual Race Option
What is a Virtual Race?
A virtual race can be run (or walked!) anytime and anywhere, even indoors on a treadmill.
How does the Virtual Race work?
Simply register for the race and complete the distance anytime and anywhere you desire. We encourage your to attend packet pick up; however, if you can't we will mail you your finisher’s medal and all the race swag after the race.
Can I switch from the Virtual Race to the actual race?
No. Once you are registered for the Virtual Race, you can not change to the actual race. Those that sign up for the actual race can change to the Virtual Race as long as it is done ten days prior to the race.
How do I track my distance and time my run?
We accept results on the honor system, so you can track your distance and time however you like. The most accurate way to do this is by using a Running GPS watch, but there are also several free smartphone apps available for iPhones and Android devices.
Will the Virtual Race count towards the Half Marathon Series?
Yes. While we would love to have you attend our traditional races, we understand that sometimes life happens and makes it impossible. The Virtual Race option was developed to encourage you to keep going and earn your Run The Valley Half Marathon Series Medal & other swag perks.
