I recently posted about this website, Running on the Wall, that has several different virtual race opportunities to join! Most recently, I happened to see one called “If It Doesn’t Challenge You, It Doesn’t Change You” and I thought that was a very strong statement, which had me running right over to Running on the Wall to sign up!
I’ll be able to do my race in my time, at my pace, and when I am able. I can run, walk, jog, hobble, crawl or whatever I need to do to complete the race, because it is MY race….. and the SWAG – you just can’t beat the swag this race includes (see below). Because I’m injured right now, I’ll have to add this to the pile of events I will have to run in the future.
But what about you? Are YOU looking to participate in a running race, but you don’t have local races in your area to participate in? Or maybe your schedule is jam packed full of activities and you just can’t make a particular event’s “race day”? Then virtual race events are your perfect answer! Running On the Wall offers a number of virtual race events where you can simply do your race, using your Garmin watch, iPod, or another digital mile/pace gadget, taking a picture and sending it in. They then will rank participants and send out a prize to the top three winners.
Even more cool is the fact that when you participate in Running On the Wall’s virtual race events, you’ll also receive a racing packet full of great running swag that you can wear proudly as you complete your own race on your own time. Running On the Wall’s virtual race events are the perfect way to stay motivated for your running all while keeping up with your busy lifestyle.
What’s in it for you? The virtual race packet for the “If It Doesn’t Challenge You, It Doesn’t Change You” event includes the medal, the tank top, the bib and car magnet. In case that isn’t enough, you actually get to pick between the ultimate runners hat (in pink, charcoal or turquoise) or pink running arm sleeves. For an extra cost, you can add on a really cute shoe necklace or you can purchase an extra medal. All you need to do is register at Running On the Wall’s Website HERE. You can pick up the race package and get ready to be proud of your own success when you complete the race despite your schedule!
1. Register here online by purchasing the package.
2. Find the virtual race event on Running On the Wall’s Facebook page and you can share your own race recap
3. Run your race
4. Post your time on the event page
5. Be proud of yourself!
I received a complimentary registration and race packet as part of Running the Wall’s Ambassador program in exchange for this post.
