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.
The medal is super cute it spins! Love the distance challenge!
We loved the medal for all "plant lovers". We got the girlies together and did our 5k run/walk. We enjoyed the flexibility of being able to set our own day,time and location! The medal and bibs are even cuter in person! 🤗💐🪴
Thought it was a cute medal, but it also can be a belt buckle. Super fun. Love the simplicity of the design too. That is running- a challenge, but simply putting one foot in front of the other.
If you can't make the date of the event be sure and write the race director and do the race virtually. I have had to do it a few times and it is a great way to at least feel like you were there for the real thing.
Nice medal
