What is a Virtual 5K?
A virtual race is like any race except the people participating are in different places!
You can choose to RUN, JOG or WALK.
The race can happen on the road, a trail, on a treadmill, at the gym or a track.
Just sign up, decide on your course, make sure you’re physically ready, then time yourself while you complete your run/walk!
Here are a few tips for a successful virtual race:
- Check the weather. You have a week to complete the race, so choose the day and time that best suits you.
- Remember to warm up, cool down and stretch!
- Fuel up properly by eating well before your run and have some healthy post-race food waiting for when you get back.
- Don't forget to hydrate! Since you won't have official race water stations you may want to carry some water with you or plan your route to include water fountains.
- Have fun!
