A virtual race allows our participants to complete their race anywhere, and any time within the virtual race period. The virtual race period for the Spring Run-Off is April 1-30. The online results platform allows runners to upload their time and see their results compared to other runners. Race kits will be mailed to all Virtual participants.
Virtual:
We want you to move and stay active in any way you feel comfortable and that you can guarantee your safety. Please make sure you observe the proper road safety measures, obey traffic signals and participate at a level and speed that is suitable for your training.

Participants will be responsible for a $10 shipping charge if a race kit is returned to CRS due to an error in their address. We only ship to Canadian Addresses.
You can do the full distance at once or break it into smaller increments over several days. Once complete, you can input your results on the Race Roster Results Page.
Please note if you do smaller increments, you will need to input your cumulative time manually.
Participants will be able to input their distances and times from April 1st-30th. Once you have completed your activity, you will track it on the Race Roster Results Platform by following these steps:
– Login to your Participant Dashboard
– Locate the Spring Run-Off 2024 on the right side of your participant dashboard
– Select the [Post your result] button under your virtual race
– Add the duration (HH/MM/SS) of your run and/or walk.
– Select ‘Submit results’ button
Virtual Race Safety Tips
- Avoid high traffic pedestrian and vehicle areas. Run or walk close to home in your neighbourhood during a quieter time of day.
- Complete your run on a treadmill, if this is an option that is available to you and that you would prefer.
- Wear appropriate clothing. Be visible and dress for the weather.
- Bring water and/or nutrition if you’re planning a longer route.
- Carry a cell phone with you during your virtual race and tell someone the route you’re running in case of an emergency.
* follow the advice of your local public health authority, to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
