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
I always enjoy these monthly runs for a cause. It makes the training more enjoyable.
Great deal for saving money on all of these awesome races!
If you're going to do more than one event, it pays for itself! Happy this is an option.
I am choosing to do the 202.5 miles in 2025 option for this medal. It gives me a challenge and motivates me to get out and do my runs so that my miles will add up. I have a shelf type hanger for my medals and will hang my medal up once I’ve completed the miles. The medal is so nicely done, high quality and has an amazing design! A racing bib was also included, which was fun — it makes a nice display, but would be fun to wear if you went with one of the lesser mile options to complete in one run.
The medal and bib also shipped super fast, and you really can’t beat the price for this challenge. I’m looking forward to doing more virtual run events to inspire my fitness journey (and to add more awesome medals to my collection)!
Great sentiment! Lovely medal
My wife and I signed up for the Virtual Earth Day Event. We mapped out our route and did a 5k walk. We thoroughly enjoyed getting prepared for this event and we were able to do it on our own timeline. We successfully did the 5k walk. We received our bibs and Medals and were super proud to show them off and support a good cause at the same time. Would do more.
This was awesome and being virtual I was able to walk/ run with my niece and nephew that live out of state. They LOVED the medals 🏅
It's always an honor to remember and recognize Dr. King's dream for us all to come together as one.
Looks like a good medal. I'm gonna write a 5 over the 2024 date. Pretty ghetto, but im a ghetto mom!
love the medal and the finish of it. a great idea to celebrate mothers and price
My son moved to another state about 6 months ago and we aren't able to run together anymore so he suggested we do a virtual run together. This was perfect! We picked the race through Texas so he would have a piece of home with him.
Medal and lanyard are of GREAT quality!! AND it benefits food insecurity which is a huge passion of mine. Bib is great quality, both are hanging on my medal display.
Medal is great quality, as is the lanyard part! What a fun way to add a medal to the wall! Gives you a fun reason to train if doing it alone. Comes with a bib that is also great quality.
