Running takes on special meaning when we have a goal. It only remains to choose one. But now it is an issue as the choice is clearly limited — most live events are postponed or canceled.

Virtual races, here they come!

Let us recall why virtual races are on fire:

✅ You can choose to start anywhere in the world on any day when it is more convenient for you;
✅ You design a course and decide when to run — enjoy your morning and run your fastest track;
✅ Participation is guaranteed — there are no restrictions on the number of participants;
✅ The cost of participation in these competition is several times lower, and sometimes free;
✅ You will get the race bib, finisher’s certificate, medal, T-shirt and get into ranking. Everything is for real.

But most of all: you can set goals, train for them and become your best.

Check out a list of virtual races as a Plan B (in fact Plan A in COVID-world).
