YOUR OHIO MILES HELP FIGHT HUNGER ❤️
Race Through America is about more than collecting medals.
It's also about making those miles matter.
At least 15% of every Race Through Ohio registration is donated to Feeding America, helping support hunger-relief efforts across the United States.
That means every state you complete can represent something bigger than another medal on your rack.
You're getting active.
You're exploring America virtually.
And you're helping support an important cause along the way.
Race across America. Make your miles matter.
Virtual Run Events independently selects charitable organizations to support through our races and is not affiliated with Feeding America.
MORE THAN $1 MILLION RAISED FOR CHARITY
The Virtual Run Events community has helped raise more than $1 million for charities and nonprofit organizations through our virtual races and fitness challenges.
Every registration adds to that impact.
Every state gives us another opportunity to give back.
And every participant helps turn ordinary miles into something bigger.

Great and love the medal.
Never got it only got a sticker
Love it! The design is gorgeous and I’ve had people want it as a Christmas ornament. Very very happy to have received a bib as well. Makes the whole event feel a bit more real and not virtual. I will certainly be doing another race by VirtualRunEvent again!
Great way to get started if in person races are intimidating
