What is a Virtual Race

With virtual races you can run or walk on your own time, at your own pace and at a location of your choosing.  Your t-shirt and medal will be shipped directly to you. This is a great way to challenge yourself, your family, friends, or co-workers while not traveling to a physical race. Each person signs up, picks a time to run and posts their times online. Virtual races are the best way to stay active and training while not being able to physically be at races!
