Welcome to Virtual races. Enable people to run separately and upload their data and have the results combined and verified by me.  How does this work?

Race Organizers:

1. You contact me and I will set up a course for you with a map showing your entrants the course they need to run. You can also provide a map to me and I will add that to your page. The map is essential! Your runners must be able to have access to the course at any time. The goal here is to enable them to run in a safe manner without the big crowd.
2. I setup a registration page with any info you want, including the map, and people have a deadline to submit their marks. They must provide a GPS map or smartphone screenshot of their run for verification. You can still have t-shirts and other merchandise for people to buy at registration that you ship to them later.
3. After the deadline, results are tabulated and you can invite people to a zoom (or other conferencing tool) awards ceremony.

Runners:

1. Find the event you wish to run.
2. Click the registration link and register.
3. Follow the instructions to submit your time.

This is a great way for everyone to safely participate, support a cause, and stay connected to fellow supporters and community.

Example of a run:

Here is a screenshot of a 5k out and back run, from the Pismo Beach Volleyball courts to the Oceano entrance sign and back. Exact starting and ending points would be provided to get it as close as possible to your desired race length.

ALWAYS BE SAFE AND MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE FROM OTHERS! You create a wake of air when you run, nobody should run into your wake. Alter your course if needed to avoid others during a pandemic.
