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.
Even though I wasn't a fan of virtual races, running a Star Wars Day race on May the 4th was always interesting to me. What better time to take advantage than now, when virtuals are all there is? I chose the May the 4th Be With You...
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...
An unresolved nagging injury has kept me from making running goals. I still have a bunch of virtual races lined up which I'll review as I walk them. The Red, Wine & Blue virtual run was offered as an Independence Day race. I signed up for the 5K...
An unresolved nagging injury has kept me from making running goals. I still have a bunch of virtual races lined up which I'll review as I walk them. Sommer Sports in Clermont started doing in-person events shortly before this event took place. For this race they offered participants...
