During this critical time, let’s recognize the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement by supporting the cause and maintaining social distancing! This Virtual 5K / 10K will be completely free to participate in, with donations for BLMLA being accepted and matched by Leslie Cohen Law up to $1,000.

This virtual race will be open from Saturday, July 4th to Sunday July 5th with options to participate as a single runner or as a team. Sign-ups for All Male, All Female, or Co-Ed Teams of 5 people or more are available, and the fastest team in each group will be announced once the race is closed. If you participate on a team, you will still be also assigned an individual age group placement.

All finishers who upload their time by midnight on July 5 will receive a finisher certificate.

Frequently asked questions

How do I record my activity?
To record your activity, you will need to download an activity tracking app that is able to track your distance and time. Popular apps include Strava, Nike Run Club, MapMyRun, and RunKeeper, and are available in the app store for free on your phone. For more details on our favourite tracking apps check out our blog post.
Are there time cutoffs for Virtual Events?
Virtual Events are fantastic in that they can be completed at any pace and location. The only restriction on how long you take is the event submission window, which is generally 48 hours, giving you lots of time to complete your event.
Can I go further than the race distance?
Yes, you can complete a distance further than what the event requires. All you need to do is input distance travelled and time, and we will adjust it down to the time it took to complete the event distance.
Can I do my distance over a few days and break it up and add up my total time to submit?
Unfortunately, while you can complete the distance at any pace, it must be completed in one go. In order to make the virtual experience as close to a physical event as possible, please submit your total elapsed time that it took to complete your chosen distance rather than total moving time. This will take into account any breaks or stops taken during completion, and mimic the experience of a physical event.
If offered, when will the post-race goodies be mailed?
Any race goodies or merchandise will be posted by the Event Organiser as soon as possible after the event. Please contact the Event Organiser if you have further enquiries about race swag.
Can I take part at any time of day?
You will find the event start time on the event page. Once the event starts, you can complete the event any time within the submission window. Make sure to upload your result and picture within the submission window to verify your results!
