Wait, what is a virtual race?

A virtual race allows you to run a race event anywhere, anytime. There is no official start line or finishline to cross. Some virtual races are scheduled to start at specific times, but most can be run at the participant’s convenience.

You may track with it with any device - Smartphone, Fitbit, Apple Watch, Garmin etc. Splits are ok! Feel free to split up your event over one day or multiple to complete your respective distance.
