Question of the Day: Virtual Races
Last week (in this feature), we explored the pros and cons (but mostly the pros) of walking a race. I mentioned that signing up for a virtual race is a great place to start. If you want to get a feel for a 5k race – but you’re not sure you’re ready to tackle one in person – it’ll help you build up a little confidence (and you’ll get some fun swag in the process).
Have you ever tried a virtual race? Do you have a favorite?
I think my favorite is still my very first. During the most locked-down part of the pandemic, I signed up for the Fiji virtual race from Virtual Run Events with a couple of friends, and we all did the race in our own neighborhoods (or, in my case, on the treadmill) on the same day. It was so much fun – and it started my race addiction.
