Virtual Races?

[Smile23]

Happy Sunday everyone

Just a quick question.

Where is the best place to find virtual races?

I would love some running bling 🏅to mark my milestone runs ?

Aiming for a half marathon (well done couchphoenix. )That needs a memento for sure!

Stay safe and keep running 😁

Hi Smile23

Morning to you

Race at your pace is a good one I’ve done a few, you can find some on Find a race as well I did some for COVID-19 last year

I’m thinking of doing The Vitality 10000 in May I’ve done the real thing 3 years ago I was given a free place by Parkrun I did the virtual one last year.

How are you doing with Lejog?

I’m sure you will find something to interest you in my suggestions

Morning

I am thinking of the virtual vitality 10000k too

This is the kind of thing I am after but its finding them. (I am not social media savvy)

i will look into find a race- not sure how I feel about running alongside real people🤣

LEJOG has been a slow burner didnt run during February due to a painful hip/thigh ,but did manage a 10k at the beginning of the week with no ill effects. I am about150miles in (way behind you???)

Find a race does virtual runs as well that’s what I did last year.

I have been a runner for 11 years but have only run in 2 what I call proper runs.

Both were 10k runs one the vitality and one at a place called Leigh on sea I got roped into that one by my daughter

Oh great will look into that then

I bow to your experience I have only been running since June last year!🤣

Not quite the same thing, but quite of few of us are doing/have done some of these challenges.

Thanks for this RAS

I am currently 150miles into LEJOG9 and contributing to COGH

I am looking at more “specific” not cumulative events or anything else which grabs my enthusiasm 😁

This Girl Runs offer t shirts / sweatshirts for reaching a distance goal eg 50k in a month. Not as pretty as bling but more practical.

Most charities have got a variety of walks and runs to complete for a medal. Google locals charities or national charities based on where your heart lies and see what’s on offer.

Thanks thats an idea I hadn’t thought of

virtualrunneruk.com/

virtualracinguk.co.uk/

medalmad.com/

These 3 are good and do virtual races of all sorts of distances. The virtual runner ones also donate part of your entrance fee to different charities.
