Organiser's Description
Join us on Saturday December 13th 2025 for the 6th race in our 2025 Military Birthday Series, as we run in celebration of the birthday (12/20/2019) of the United States Space Force. Races for the other branches of service are scheduled throughout 2025 in order of their birthday months (Army/Coast Guard/Air Force/Navy/Marine Corps/Space Force). This is no ordinary virtual run. It's a unique "live virtual" running event, with tens of thousands of runners who have already experienced and love our unique race format. Among other things, there is a scheduled race date and start time (Saturday December 13th, 2025 at 8am Eastern time USA), a virtual check in and start via text or Facebook live-stream on race day morning, timekeeping (runners will provide screenshots or pictures of their chosen method of time and distance keeping), a private and active Facebook group (Facebook access is NOT required to participate) dedicated to our "live virtual" runners, and custom engraving for the back of the medal for age group winners. All participants will receive the custom 3 inch one of a kind Space Force Birthday medal (see below), with age group winners receiving the engraving for their medal back.

For this option, medals will ship about 1 week before the race date.
