15 Budget Virtual Races with Swag To Run In July 2020
Due to pandemic-related race cancellations and postponements, 2020 has seen the rise popularity of virtual races.
Are you looking for your next virtual race?
I found the following virtual races that offer different levels of swag at budget-friendly prices. These might have additional fees, like a sign-up platform fee or shipping. I tried to note these but I may have missed some. The races also vary in their results submission requirements and when you need to complete your run.
I'm not affiliated with any of these races and cannot vouch for their quality. Some races may have referral links. Please check all available information before registering in case of errors in the list below. Also note that some of these races support charitable causes and will give you the option to add a donation to your low-cost registration.
