VIRTUAL OPTION

We had so much fun with our Virtual BWC race that we have decided to offer a virtual race option again in 2024 for those who would like to participate but are not local, or those who would prefer not to join us in-person. Here's how the virtual race works:

  1. Register for the virtual event, and sign up for text or e-mail notifications

  2. Join our Facebook page to stay up-to-date on everything race related

  3. Your race swag will be available for pickup at our packet pickups, or can be mailed to you (we will reach out in a pre-race email to find out your preference)

  4. You'll receive a text or email (if you opt in) when the virtual race "starts" on June 22nd.

  5. Run your race and submit your results either by text message or email (if you've opted in) or by heading to the results page here by June 23rd at 11:59 PM Eastern Time). Results update in real time as people submit their times. Be sure to take a selfie and post on social media with the hashtag #virtualbwc through the runsignup.com photo page.

    *Virtual race performances are not eligible for the overall event awards, but we'll certainly be acknowledging the winners in our post-race communication.
