VIRTUAL COURSE INFORMATION

As a virtual event, you can run your race anytime, anywhere. Meaning YOU choose your course. Want it to be hilly? Go for it! Want to do it on your treadmill? That’s ok too! Choose any course you’d like and complete it at any time you’d like, just have fun and remember to only run/walk in safe locations.

One suggestion we’ve received – If you’re going to be completing your race and know you might need water or restrooms, either plan a course with restrooms along the way and “hide” your water bottles for when you arrive OR convince a friend/family member to act as your support vehicle for the race. Riding a bike next to you can help keep you company and provide you food/water as you need it!
