Virtual Runs found

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.

  1. Find your race on our calendar

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.

Virtual Running Race FAQs

What gear do I need?

Just regular running gear plus something to track your distance—most runners use their phone with Strava or a GPS watch. Treadmill running? That works, too—simply take a clear photo of your display when you finish.

How do results work?

After your run, upload your activity from Strava, Garmin, or any tracking app to your race profile. Running on a treadmill? Send in your display photo. Your results will usually appear on the leaderboard within an hour, showing how you stack up against runners nationwide.

Can I run with friends?

Definitely! Sign up as individuals to race each other or take advantage of our group rates. Running clubs across the country use our virtual races for training goals and monthly challenges.
