What is a Virtual Race?

By | About | No Comments

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 Vancouver Half Marathon is June 1-30. The online results platform allows runners to input their time and see their results compared to other runners. Race kits will be mailed to all Virtual participants.
