FAQs - VIRTUAL RACE FAQs
WHEN should I run this?
You can run this ANYTIME you desire. If it is best for you to wait until later this year to run this distance, then WAIT! Many participants will be running on the originally scheduled weekend, May 2, but that’s the benefit of a virtual event. Only the RACE is virtual – the RUN is REAL, WHENEVER you choose to do it. Need to wait until the middle of July? That’s fine!
WHERE should I run this?
That is 100% your choice. The safest place to run at this time is a treadmill. If you choose to run outdoors, please take every precaution ordered in your area. In most of Colorado, that means staying NEAR your HOME. Don’t drive to a trailhead or a park. Stay within YOUR neighborhood. Yeah, that might mean making 10 trips up and down your block!
HOW should I run this?
Run any way that works for you! Please, follow social distancing precautions. If you’re outdoors, wear a mask, stay away from other people, don’t touch anything, don’t drive to a trailhead or park, stay near your home/neighborhood. Use your treadmill if that is an option for you!
How do I report my TIME?
On the morning of May 2, 2020, the virtual results submission link will be active. You’ll be able to submit YOUR time through that link until the end of the month. You'll receive an email on RACE DAY with the link to submit your time. If you need longer because you’ve chosen to run later in the year, and not this month, then you’ll email your time after you complete your run. info@3wraces.com
