What is a Virtual Race?                             

A virtual race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location you choose and on any dates that you choose within the given time frame. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym or on the track (or even at another race). You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself. Running and walking on your own, or with friends!
