Want to race without the start line crowds and early wake-up calls? Virtual races let you tackle everything from 5ks to marathons on your schedule, your routes. Whether you're fitting runs around work or prefer your own pace, these events pack all the motivation of race day - minus the parking hassle.
What are Virtual Runs?
A virtual race is just like a regular event, but you choose when and where to run. Sign up, get your race number in the mail, and run your distance wherever works best. Track your miles with your usual running app, upload your time, and earn your medal. Simple as that.
Racing virtually doesn't mean missing the excitement. You'll get your race pack, pre-run butterflies, and that finish line feeling. Entry fees typically run lower than traditional races too, leaving more in your budget for gear. Whether you're an early morning runner or prefer sunset miles, virtual races fit your life.
Want to run for a cause? Many of our virtual events support charities - your entry fee makes a real difference. Whether you're a regular, 5k, 10k or Half Marathon racer or you're taking your first steps as a runner, our calendar of virtual runs offers a range of goals for everyone.

Race Day Tips
Pick a route you know. Test your tracking app before race day. Want that real race feeling? Set out your gear the night before, just like you would for any event. Share your training and race photos with our virtual running community - nothing beats the support of fellow runners.
