• What is a Virtual Race?
A Virtual Race is a race you can do at any location, at your pace, either outside or on a treadmill.

• Do I need to run the actual Fodderstack 10k course?
No, the course does not need to be run. In fact, due to the roads not being closed and lack of police assistance, we request you DO NOT run the actual course

• When do I have to run the virtual race?
You will need to run your virtual 10K between September 25th and October 3rd, 2021

• How do I enter my virtual time?
Runners can either utilize RaceJoy GPS tracking or you can log in your 10k times manually

• Can I register for the virtual race and then later switch to in-person? Or vice versa?
Yes, that is possible however we’ll need a final decision by September 17, 2021

• If I do virtual, how will I receive my t-shirt and possible award
We plan to have the t-shirts available for pickup at the Rappahannock Visitor Center for locals and we’ll mail the rest to those who are out of the area. If you are local and need the shirt mailed, we can do that too.

• What happens if things get worse and the October running also has to be cancelled?
If the October running is cancelled due to Covid-19, all runners will be automatically switched to the virtual option. If runners do not want to participate in the virtual race, please let us know at that time and your registration can be deferred to the 2022 running.

• Will there be an in-person awards ceremony and after race gathering/party?
We're planning on it but we’ll have to wait and see based on provided guidelines and regulations in the time leading up to the race

• How will award categories work?
We’ll need to wait and see how registration for the in-person race progresses before determining category breakdowns.
