*These medals are made by us, in our shed! The medal is made of wood that we cut on our laser and then a very strong sticker adhesive for the design. Raccoons live in the woods, so these medals are made of wood!

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. Weve already raised more than $1,000,000 for charities from races here at Virtual Run Events! Our goal is to continue to help different charities around the world.
