What is a Virtual Race?
A virtual race allows participants to run or walk from any location they choose. Whether on the road, a trail, a treadmill, at the gym, or on a track, you can complete your race at your own pace and time it yourself. Enjoy the flexibility of participating alone or with friends, and have your medal shipped directly to you upon completion. Each race benefits a different charity, and to date, the initiative has raised over $892,045 for various causes through its running events. Together, we are making a difference—one race at a time!
