This race has included a virtual run option as part of their package of events. The virtual option will be available as a run anywhere course event. That means that a registrant for the virtual option will be able to run the course that they choose for this for option. There will be a window of time that the course can be ran and the distance will be defined as part of the option. In other words if a race offers a 5K virtual option, a participant in that event can run the 5K course that they choose as many times as they choose over the time window offered. The participant will be able to post their time to the RunSignup results page for the virtual event. If they post several times, their last time posted will be the time listed in the results. Virtual participants will be automatically assigned a virtual bib number when they register. The bib number assigned will be included in their online registration confirmation email. They will not actually receive a physical bib as the number is only required when they post their results to the RunSignup results page. Participants in the virtual event will receive a race shirt, but must pick up their shirt at the early packet pickup (if offered) or at the day of race packet pickup. Virtual participants are not eligible for awards.

The race has included access to the RaceJoy Mobile Phone Application as part of the service package for both the virtual event(s) and the traditional timed event(s). The application is a free download from the App Store or GooglePlay.

Participants will be able to utilize the RaceJoy application or manually beginning at 12:00 AM on June 19, 2026 and ending at 11:59 PM on July 5, 2026.

The application will work the same for each event as far as setup and use of the application. The application will monitor the distance covered and the time spent on the course for each event. The virtual participants can run their run anywhere course multiple times over the defined time window and either utilize the application to record their time on RunSignup or record their time manually.
