RUN TIMELINE
Miles on your “anywhere” course can be completed beginning on July 1, 2024 through July 27, 2024.
RESULTS POSTING TIMELINE
Virtual runners post their own finish time to the results roster at any time between July 1 and July 27, 2024 at noon CST. You will receive a reminder email just before the start of the event that contains a direct link to post your results. These instructions describe two of the easiest ways to log your time.
SWAG
Virtual registrants will receive the same swag as in person participants with two major differences:
1. Print your own custom race bib through your RunSignup profile.
2. Either pick up your swag in person at packet pickup on Friday (7/26), race morning on Saturday (7/27), or opt to have your materials shipped (choose the shipping "add-on" at checkout.
All virtual runners who opt to have swag shipped to them will be sent swag packets after July 27, 2024.

RESULTS SUBMITTED

For convenience, RunSignup supports the ability for participants to submit virtual results manually, or by uploading their GPS activity recorded while using third party types of tracking tools. (Two very common formats of data are GPX and FIT, which services like Garmin and Strava use to store activity data.) Personalized data will automatically fill in, including the Distance, Date, Elevation Gain, and Time fields from the activity file being submitted.
And of course a wrist watch works just fine as well!
Please be sure to select your safest, most inspiring "anywhere route" and enjoy completing the miles and be proud of yourself for supporting such a great cause!
