Frequently Asked Questions
A virtual race is a flexible race that you can complete on your own schedule from any location. Choose when and where to complete your miles, submit your results online, and celebrate your accomplishment with authentic race swag.
Anything that gets you moving can count toward your virtual race. When entering your results, you can choose from running, jogging, biking, swimming, hiking, walking, or select “other” for any additional activity. The possibilities are endless, so you can complete your miles in the way that works best for you.

To log your results, find the Enter My Time button within the Virtual Races section of our website. On desktop, hover over Virtual Races in the top navigation menu. On mobile, open the menu and select Virtual Races. Once in the Enter My Time collection, choose your race, click Enter My Time and then sign in to your account or continue as a guest.

Yes. When entering your results manually, you can submit your distance and the time it took you to complete those miles.
Entering your miles in bulk means manually submitting the total distance you have completed and the total amount of time it took you to complete those miles. For example, if you completed several activities but have not entered them yet, you can manually enter your combined distance and completion time as one entry.
