VIRTUAL RACES
We have created virtual races as an option for those who would like to participate but are not local, or do not feel comfortable attending an in-person race. Below are some tips to make sure you get the most out of your virtual experience:
Sign Up to Participate
The first step is registering and making it official! Click register now at the top of this page to sign up for either the 5K or the 1 Mile virtual events.
Make an Extra Donation or Sign Up to Fundraise
You will also have a chance to make an extra donation or sign up to fundraise. Every dollar helps us assist individuals with brain cancer and their families; providers who are pursuing integrative approaches to healing; and researchers who are investigating traditional and complementary cancer-related therapies. Donations will help us carry on our mission and continue offering our programs.
Receive Your Event SWAG
Packets for virtual participants will be mailed on May 10th using the shipping address that is provided during the registration process. NOTE: Virtual participants registering after May 10th will not receive a shirt.
Run Your Race
You can complete your virtual event anytime between May 18th and May 19th (11:59PM ET). You can run anywhere you like - your neighborhood, your favorite trail, your treadmill, or your local city park.
Submit Results
After you run or walk your race, you can submit your results directly on the runsignup.com results page. Results automatically update as times are submitted, so you can check the results to see how you stack up against the competition.
Follow these steps to submit your virtual race activity:
- Log-in to your RunSignup account and go to your profile.
- Scroll to your events and find the Keep Punching 5K and 1 Miler.
- Select "Submit Virtual Results" and upload your workout.
- Don't hesitate to reach out with any issues - info@roadandtrailevents.com
The deadline to submit your virtual results is May 20th. After May 20th, the virtual results will be finalized.
Note: Your activity must be tracked as a Walk/Run to be eligible for reporting. For example, accumulating general steps throughout the day will not count, but going for a walk or run (in the gym and outside) will count.
Send Us a Selfie/Share Your Pictures!
If you don’t take a picture did it even happen? We’d love to see your pre- and post-race pictures! Be sure to take a selfie and share it through the runsignup.com photo page or download your photo(s) when you report your results. And, share them on social media using the hashtag: #KeepPunching
*Virtual race performances are not eligible for the overall event awards, but we'll certainly be acknowledging the winners in our post-race communication.
