About Us
Make A Difference....One Race At A Time
We created Virtual Run Events in April 2015 because we LOVE running! And even more, we LOVE connecting with runners. Shortly after we created Moon Joggers, we began to realize that we could encourage people to get out and get moving, AND make a difference throughout the world by creating fun and unique events to raise money for various charities and causes. For each event we design a unique medal, invite people to get out and run (or walk) their own race, at their own pace and choose a charity to donate a portion of the proceeds to.
We are on a quest to help provide food, shoes, schools, school supplies, water, toilets, toys and other needed things to people throughout the world and it is all happening through our Virtual Run Events. We love being involved in the running community and have made so many new running friends from all over the world. Thank you so much for participating! We are making a difference…one race at a time!
With each virtual race we hold we choose a charity to raise funds for. Between Virtual Run Events and our sister site, Moon Joggers, we have donated more than $1,000,000 to charities around the world!
*Cancellation/Refunds: Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund for these events. We have to immediately spend the money on ordering for the medals, bibs and shipping, so all sales are final.
What is a Virtual Race?
A virtual race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym or on the track (or even at another race). You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself. Running and walking on your own, or with friends! And your medal will be shipped directly to you. Complete a virtual 5Ks, 10K, half marathon and more!
Each race benefits a difference charity
For each of our virtual races, we choose a charity to donate a portion of each registration to. We’ve already raised more than $1,00,000 for charities from races here at Virtual Run Events! Our goal is to continue to help different charities around the world
Let customers speak for us
So grateful to have found Virtual Run Events!
My family just moved here a few months ago from the East Coast and being able to have a running "community" here in AZ almost immediately was a life-saver! We love the medals, they are such high quality and they truly do keep us motivated to continue to run together.
Really great experience and loved being able to do the events at a time that worked for me. Everything shipped super fast and great knowing it’s for a cause.
Great metal
I loveeeee the medal and the bib!
Super cute 🥰
It was nice and pretty tough. I loved it
Super fun! I love being able to give myself the medal after I finish the I complete the race instead of waiting for it in the mail. The medals are good quality.
Beautiful medal & wonderful way to commemorate Arizona!
Ease of ordering. Beautiful medal. I highly recommend them.
The medal and bib arrived quickly and are very nice quality! I will participate in another virtual event!
It was easy since I was already was running a race. This fulfilled my need. I had run in Virginia and West Virginia years ago no medals so now I have one for each✅
Having always been a space nerd, I loved this medal and knew I just had to have it to add to my collection. I always like how clever and creative these medals are and am always looking forward to new and upcoming events!
loving virtual run events
Super cool website. My medal looks awesome and my virtual race was easy to accomplish.
The medal was super cute! The only issue i experienced was when I was uploading the GPX files it gave me a few errors before it successfully went through. You aren't able to take a screenshot and drag it in. Also, the additional runner had to log into their own account to upload. It didnt allow me to upload their GPX file that they sent. I wouldn't give it a lower rating since it's optional to upload your results you can just submit your time! Can't wait to try another!
