Organiser's description

This medal is made of CLEAR ACRYLIC with the design sublimated onto it. It's beautiful!

On February 5, 2024 we lost one of our favorite country singers of all time, Toby Keith. We are huge fans of his here at Virtual Run Events and this race is to celebrate the amazing man he was and the awesome country music he gave to us! Help us remember him with our Should've Been a Cowboy 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2 virtual race.

Plus, we will also be donating 15% of each registration to The Toby Keith Foundation. Their mission is to encourage the health and happiness of pediatric cancer patients and to support OK Kids Korral. The Toby Keith Foundation has been helping children with cancer since 2006 and continues its services through partnerships with hospitals, caregivers, foundations and civic groups. OK Kids Korral provides a cost-free, convenient and comfortable home for pediatric cancer patients receiving treatment at The Children's Hospital at OU Medical Center, Peggy & Charles Stephenson Cancer Center and other nearby facilities.

What: This is a 1M, 5K, 10K, 13.1, 26.2 virtual run (or walk) to honor the memory of Toby Keith and one of our most favorite songs ever! You choose which distance you want to complete!

When: Complete your race any time between now and July 8th (Toby's birthday).

*Medals and bibs will ship out within 2 to 5 days of signing up.

Where: You choose the course and you time yourself (youll report your finishing time to us).

Why: Because this is our way of honoring a legend, Toby Keith.

Cost: The price is $20 and that includes your medal, bib and at least 15% of every entry will be donated to The Toby Keith Foundation. *We are in no way affiliated with this charity, we like to choose a different charity for each of our races and are happy to raise funds for them.
