Virtual Event FAQs:
- What is a virtual event? A virtual event is an event you can complete anytime and anywhere! There isn't a set time or place since virtual runs are meant for you to complete at your own convenience and at your own pace.
- How do I submit my time? The completion of the virtual event is on the honor system- so there is no need for you to submit your time. If you'd like, you may post your results directly on our registration website to see how your time compares with other participants across the country. Once you have completed your walk/run, just wear your new t-shirt with pride!
- Is there a specific app we need to use to track our time? You can track your time with any app, watch, or fitness device that you would like.
- Can I complete my virtual run before I have received my t-shirt? You don't have to wait to receive your t-shirt in the mail- you can complete your run at any time. T-shirt will be mailed out within 30 days of the conclusion of the virtual event, which ends on September 30th. If you do not receive your t-shirt within 30 days, please send us a message through our main registration page.
