About
The 26th Annual Virtual Run
In 1999 the idea of celebrating running, on a global scale, was formed. To select a running event in many areas of the country may be easy for some; but a challenge for others. To satisfy those challenged, an event was created where a runner could run any distance they chose wherever they lived. It became known as a “VIRTUAL RUN”. We continue to meet the need of these runners with the following distances for 2024.
