HOW DOES A VIRTUAL RACE WORK?
If you’ve participated in our virtual race last year 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 get signed up, and be sure to bring your friends! During registration you can also opt-in to report your race results via text or email (we’ll explain more below).
Run Your Race
You can run your race on Sunday, June 6th anytime between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.. You can run anywhere you like - your neighborhood, your favorite trail, your treadmill, or anywhere you may be. We encourage all participants to use the RaceJoy app (new for this years race and more information on the app will be coming as we get closer to race day!), where you can track your run, automatically submit your results, send and receive cheers to/from other participants!
Submit Results
After you run your race you can submit their results automatically through the RaceJoy app, through text or email (if opted in), or directly on the runsignup.com results page on June 6th from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern Time. Don’t forget: you MUST run your race during this time period - runs completed outside of this window will not be eligible for awards. 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.
