How to Get There

Choosing Your Perfect Spot:

As a virtual event, your location is the comfort of your choice. Whether it's a familiar jogging path or a new adventure in a nearby park, the world is your course. Here are some suggestions and considerations to keep in mind:

Safety First: Choose a location that is safe and well-lit, especially if you plan to complete the challenge during early or late hours. Ensure the path is clear of hazards and is pedestrian-friendly.

Accessibility: Consider the accessibility of your chosen route. If you're aiming for a fast time, a flat and smooth path might be your best bet. For a more scenic and challenging route, you might opt for trails or areas with varying elevations.

Privacy and Permissions: Ensure the area is open to the public and doesn't require special permissions or entry fees. Respect private property and adhere to all local regulations.

Weather and Environment: Check the weather forecast and plan accordingly. Dress appropriately for the conditions and stay hydrated, especially if you're challenging yourself in warmer climates or more strenuous routes.

Community and Support: Though you're selecting your own location, remember that you're part of a broader community taking on the same challenge. Share your location ideas, photos, and experiences in the community forum to inspire and connect with fellow participants.

Remember, the beauty of a virtual event is that you can tailor it to fit your lifestyle, preferences, and fitness goals. Choose a location that excites you, challenges you, or even comforts you. This is your race at your place!

Parking

Preparing for Your Virtual Location:

1. Selecting Your Course:
Choose a route that's easily accessible to you and fits your challenge goals. It could be as simple as stepping out your front door or heading to a nearby park or trail.

2. Transportation to Start Line:
Since this is a virtual event, there's no need to worry about parking or public transport! Your start line is wherever you decide - just step outside, and you're ready to go.

3. Setting Up Your Equipment:
If you're running on a treadmill or using other equipment, ensure it's all set up and functioning well before the event starts. Test out your gear and make any necessary adjustments for a smooth experience.

4. Downloading Necessary Apps:
Make sure any tracking or fitness apps you'll use are downloaded, updated, and fully charged on your device. Familiarize yourself with how they work to avoid any technical issues on the day of the challenge.

5. Planning for Weather:
If you're heading outdoors, check the weather forecast in advance and dress appropriately. Remember to stay hydrated and wear sunscreen if it's sunny.

6. Virtual Check-In:
There's no physical check-in, but don't forget to log into any event apps or forums to mark your start. Share your excitement and progress with the community!
