There will be a window of time that the course can be ran and the distance will be defined as part of the option. In other words if a race offers a 5K virtual option, a participant in that event can run the 5K course that they choose as many times as they choose over the time window offered. The participant will be able to post their time to the RunSignup results page for the virtual event. If they post several times, their last time posted will be the time listed in the results.
