FAQs

What exactly is  a virtual run?

A virtual run is just like running a race with thousands of other people… just not all at the same place! Come race weekend, you pick your own start time and finish line. You can run, walk, bike around your block, choose a route in your neighborhood, choose a route on our website or even complete the race on your treadmill. Just like a usual Race for Warmth event, you get a packet with a shirt, a bib number, a participation medal (new this year), race swag, and more. You will also have the ability to post your results and images on the Race for Warmth Facebook event page.
