Organiser's description
Join us on Saturday June 10th 2023 as we run in celebration of the birthday (6/14/1775) of the United States Army. Races for the other branches of service will follow throughout 2023 in order of their birthdays (Coast Guard/Air Force/Navy/USMC/Space Force). This is no ordinary virtual run. It's a unique "live virtual" running event, with hundreds of runners who have already experienced and love our race format. Among other things, there is a scheduled race date and start time (Saturday June 10, 2023 at 8am Eastern time USA), a virtual check in and start via text or Facebook live-stream on race day morning, timekeeping (runners will text screenshots or pictures of their chosen method of time and distance keeping), a private and active Facebook group dedicated to our "live virtual" runners, and custom engraving on the back of the medal for age group winners. All participants will receive the custom 3 inch one of a kind Army Birthday medal, with age group winners receiving the engraving on their medal back.
