    If you can’t make it to the race on race day – you can choose to run these events virtual.  This page will explain:
    – What is a virtual race?
    – How to sign up for a virtual race?
    – How to complete a virtual race?
    – Can I switch to virtual if I’m already registered for the in-person event?
    – And a few other FAQ’s.

     

    What is a Virtual Race?

    A virtual race is when you run the event on your own time – where ever you want.  While we can’t wrap up the after party and ship you the beer and bbq, we will ship you your swag items in the mail after the event.

     

    How to sign up for Virtual?

    This is super easy.  Just head over to the registration page and find the registration distance you want to sign up with that also says “Virtual”.  So if you want to run the half marathon virtually – select “Virtual Half Marathon”.

     

    How To Complete A Virtual Race?

    This is on the honor system.  Run anywhere/anytime, no need to send us proof or log your miles online.  Everyone that is registered for virtual will get the swag (medal & giveaway) shipped to your door within 2 weeks after the race.

     

    Can I Switch To Virtual If I’m Registered For The In-Person Race?

    Yes, but there are deadlines and a small $15 processing fee to cover the shipping/handling. If you’ve signed up to be at the race but for any reason you can’t make it and want to switch or “transfer” your race to a virtual race, here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

    #1)  It must be done no less than 7 days in advance before the event.

    #2)  You must manage this yourself by logging into your RunSignUp account and choosing the “Event Transfer” option and choose the “Virtual” option for your distance and race.  Again, keep in mind there will be an online processing fee to make any changes.

     

    FAQ’s & Policies:

    Please keep in mind, these are our policies and they may differ from another virtual race company.  We think you will find our options very accommodating to you as a runner and we ask that you please read them carefully.  We are a small company and cannot make any special exceptions

    This is something that you must register for separately and the following registration policies apply.  

    • Must be registered for the virtual option in order to receive race packet by mail.

    • If you are registered to run in a race and cannot attend, all of the registration policies on our FAQ page still  apply to you.  The only way to run a race virtually and receive your packet in the mail is if you are registered under the virtual option.

    • You may transfer to the virtual option up to 7 days prior to an event.  You will manage this through your personal RunSignUp account and there is a $15.00 processing fee. CLICK HERE to login.

    • Packets will not be available for pick up race weekend.  Even if you come to the race for any reason, or send family/friends to pick up your packet, we will not hand out any bibs, shirts, medals, or other swag items for any virtuals during a race weekend.

    • ALL virtual packets will be mailed within 2 weeks of the race. 

    • We will only ship packets to those who are actually registered for the virtual option. (Cut off for this is 7days prior to the each event)

    *If you decide to come to the race instead of run it virtually.  You must manage this through your RunSignUp account 7 days prior to the event.  You will have to pay the difference in price as well as a $15.00 processing fee but we would love to have you join us!  It’s so much more fun to run with friends! ?

    This relay is made for a 2 person team to complete the Half Marathon. You should register knowing who your team member is – we will not be pairing or matching 2 people together. Each team member should register separatly and will receive a bib to run with – you do not need to pass the bib to the next runner – here’s how it will work.

    You can pick who runs the first leg of the race. The 2nd runner can watch the start then walk 1 block over to the transition area. Almost exactly halfway through the half marathon, our transition area will be staged for the 2nd relay runner to be ready to run. A course marshal will watch the first runner tag the 2nd runner in. We will also have an area where the 1st runner can hop into run the last 2 blocks into the finish line with the 2nd runner. Both relay team members earn a half marathon medal with a special “Relay” ribbon.

    We will have overall awards for the top 3 teams.
