HOW DOES A VIRTUAL RACE WORK?

If you’ve participated in a virtual race at any time in 2020 you know the drill, but if not, it’s easy!

Sign Up to Participate
First step is registering and making it official! Click register now at the top of this page to sign up for the individual race or all 9 races in the series. During registration you can also opt-in to report your race results via text or email (we’ll explain more below).

Receive A Race T-Shirt
During the registration process you will have the opportunity to buy a race themed t-shirt for only $15. We will provide more details soon about how we will get you your race t-shirt.

Print Your Digital Bib
We will be creating a "unique" race themed Digital Bib that you will be able to download and print and/or share on social media. Keep an eye out for pre-race email that will give instructions on how to access your "digital bib".

Sign Up for RaceJoy
To add to the virtual fun, we are also using the RaceJoy platform to offer a new way to run your virtual race! Learn more and download the app here! You'll be able to send cheers to other participants, get custom mile alerts and fun messages during your run, and automatically upload your results to RunSignup.

Run Your Race
You can run or walk your 5K (3.1 miles) anytime between April 2nd and April 4th (11:59PM ET). You can run anywhere you like - your neighborhood, your favorite trail, your treadmill, or your local city park.

Submit Results
After you run or walk your race you can submit their results through text or email (if opted in during the registration process), or directly on the runsignup.com results page. If you have questions about submitting results don't hesitate to reach out to us at events@charmcityrun.com. Results automatically update as times are submitted, so you can check the results to see how you stack up against the competition.

Send Us a Selfie/Share Your Pictures!
If you don’t take a picture did it even happen? We’d love to see your pre- and post-race pictures! You can post them during the result reporting process or directly to the RunSignup photo page.

IN-PERSON OPTION

While the 2021 Baltimore City Rec and Parks $5 5k Series powered by Charm City Run is currently all-virtual, an in-person race option may become available later in the year if conditions surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic improve. If we are able to host in-person races as part of the series, registrants who have signed up for a virtual race will have the option to transfer to the in-person race OR remain in the virtual event.

AWARDS

Top Male and Female runners will receive prizes from Baltimore City Rec and Parks and Charm City Run.

BENEFICIARY

A portion of the proceeds from the $5 5K series benefit Baltimore City park programming.
