So if you want to run the half marathon virtually – select “Virtual Half Marathon”. Just head over to the registration page and find the registration distance you want to sign up with that also says “Virtual”. While we can’t wrap up the after party and ship you the beer and bbq, we will ship you your swag items in the mail after the event. What is a Virtual Race?Ī virtual race is when you run the event on your own time – where ever you want. – Can I switch to virtual if I’m already registered for the in-person event? If you can’t make it to the race on race day – you can choose to run these events virtual. This is not a certified distance or timed but all participants will have a great time and earn a finisher “Turkey Trot” medal, shirt and be able to enjoy the after party with everyone else.
