What’s A Virtual (2 Week) Marathon?
In short, a virtual (2 week) marathon is a 26.2 mile run you complete in your own city, within 14 days. This means you can step out your door and run 26.2 miles in one day, 13.1 miles 2x, 1.9 miles a day over 14 days, or anything in between... on your favorite trail, or on a treadmill... The choice is yours.
This allows you to complete a marathon distance at your own pace, on your own turf. You can walk, run, sprint. However fast, or slow you want to go. As long as you finish 26.2 miles in 14 days, you'll lay claim to some sweet finish line bling.
Everything else is like a normal event. You get a cool tech event shirt and a bib just for signing up. You'll also get a mileage log card so you can track your 26.2. No apps, we'll trust that if you write it down, you did your miles. Then, you'll email a picture of your log card to our race organizers, and we'll ship you a shiny new race finisher medal to add to the trophy case.
