Quick Virtual Race Review: #CrushCorona 10K

August 5, 2020 in Virtual Race Reports

An unresolved nagging injury has kept me from making running goals. I still have a bunch of virtual races lined up, though.

These virtual runs in my neighborhood aren't particularly memorable and the reports are pretty boring. I won't continue posting individual reports about these, with a few possible exceptions.

The #CrushCorona 10K was a themed race put on by Medal Dash. A portion of proceeds from the event was donated to the First Responders Children's Foundation.

Race Day: July 16, 2020
I completed this 10K in my neighborhood. Arthur walked about 5 miles with me. It was about 79°F with 79% humidity when we started just before 7AM.

Swag
This race came with a tech t-shirt and medal.

Recommendation
Good swag. I'd run with Medal Dash again.

Garmin GPS elapsed time: 1:36:38
Cost: $40.75

Report written August 4, 2020

Addendum 9/28/22: I gave this shirt away (Goodwill) in September 2022

Race Recap: Beck 5K Angels for the Arc Virtual Race

June 28, 2020 in Virtual Race Reports

Before the Beck 5K Angels for the Arc race was converted to a virtual event due to the pandemic, it was on my radar as a local-ish race up in Palatka, Florida. The race is put on to support The Arc of Putnam County, a charitable...

2022 Virtual Race Roundup: January - May

August 1, 2022 in Virtual Race Reports

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...
