What is a Virtual Race?

A virtual race can be run/ walked anytime and anywhere, even indoors on a treadmill. So no matter what your schedule is or where you are, you can be part of this event and a part of our community. Our 5k allows virtual participants from April 3rd to April 10th to participate.

Who can participate in this event?

Everyone! We encourage you to invite your friends and families to join you in this challenge! What makes a virtual race so great is that there are no course time limits so you can really tackle this challenge at your own speed!
Do I have to do the 3.1 mile distance all at once?

While many will take care of the distance in one effort, this is not a requirement and we care more than you get the distance done on your own terms. Think of this more event as motivation to accomplish a goal, the terms by which you accomplish that goal however are up to you! As it relates to submitting your results, if you broke your effort into multiple segments through one day or over multiple days, just sum up your total time and submit the cumulative time.
How can I track my distance and time my run/walk?

We trust our participants and thus we do not tell you how to track your distance and time and you can choose the method that's best for you. In terms of accuracy, running on tracks is the most accurate method and closely following that are GPS watches. There are also numerous apps you can download for free and it's always helpful to map out a route ahead of time so you know exactly how far you're going, we've made a list of some free apps and map making websites below.
Strava - free phone app (our recommended app)
