While I'm back to participating in in-person events (yay, races are back!), I've still got some virtual runs on my calendar.
These virtual runs and walks are mostly completed alone, in my neighborhood or on local trails, so they unfortunately aren't particularly memorable. It doesn't make sense to write up individual reports, but I still want to make some note them, especially to shout out the charities involved. Here are my brief recaps from virtual events completed in the first half of 2022.
I also ran this virtually in 2020. I think the theme is so fun (asparagus -- though it is seriously meant to memorialize a member of the local farming community) and I loved the 2020 shirt so much, so I was in again. I missed the actual race window around the in-person race day of June 12, 2021, and ended up completing this the following January. This race will take place in person again in 2022, with no virtual option.
This race took place in person on the evening of April 8, 2022. I registered for the race but unfortunately I was unable to attend. I reached out to the race director to see if I could complete the race on my own, virtually. The RD kindly obliged so I was able to complete this virtually on my own at a later date.
This race is an in-person event in Delaware. The charity and race is important to one of our club members, Rachel, so a bunch of us got together to run this charity race virtually here in Florida. We ran on Kentucky Derby Day so we had some fun with silly fancy hats and Rachel came up with a creative horse-race-related betting scheme to raise some more money for the cause.
January 4-8 2017 was Marathon Weekend at Disney World. The event includes four races -- a 5K on Thursday, a 10K on Friday, Half Marathon on Saturday, and a Marathon on Sunday. The Half Marathon on Saturday was to be the 20th running of the race, and it...
I managed to complete a 5K a day runstreak (or walkstreak) this month, yay me! My aim was to have each 5K (or longer) be some kind of "event", from free online challenges...
Back in mid-February I signed Arthur and I up for this short race at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm. I had always wanted to visit the farm, mostly because the boardwalk is famous for hosting wading birds. Although the race would take place a bit early in...
The Run 4 Life 4 Miler is a charity race traditionally run through the tree-covered roads of historic old Enterprise, Florida. For this year the race, which raises awareness and funds for local suicide prevention and mental health programs, went virtual. I had been looking forward to...
