What is a remote race?
We can't host a race for you, and you know how you feel about virtual races. How about let's find something new. It's a REMOTE RACE.
5 people. Approved course. Your schedule. Independent timing. Beer, medals, shirts and other surprises, sent to you. And an awesome, totally safe race experience!
What it looks like:
- Race host contacts Run Waterloo to set it up
- Get a group of 5 people together. Within one circle is great - no protocols necessary. But can be any combination of people you know and trust to be safe.
- You find a course you like at a convenient time on the weekend of October 31 - November 1,
- Bring along one extra volunteer to independently time (no GPS) the race.
- We ship you a box of fun!
- Then race! Can be a time trial, or 5 person race, whatever is safe and appropriate for your group. You decide.
Who can participate:
- Any groups of 5. Walkers, runners, strollers, any mobility, any speed. Race Hosts can increase or decrease this number by 1 if needed.
- Limited to 100 groups of 5. $55 person = $275 per group of 5. Once the 100 groups are filled, any incomplete groups are refunded and canceled.
- We are not providing any solo entries. There are lots of virtual races out there. This is a remote race and you must find your own team through your own channels.
What you receive (for group of 5):
- 5 shirts, 5 finisher medals, 5 cans from Waterloo Brewing, other fun stuff in the kit
- Discount from Runners' Choice Waterloo.
- Golden ticket from Saucony.
- Shipping to anywhere within 2 hours of Waterloo, ON.
Responsibilities of a Race Host:
- Liaise with Run Waterloo for: A) access to event B) arrange group kit shipping (details and/or quote) C) race plan including 1. safety protocols 2. approved course 3. independent timer (volunteer)
- Recruit team (4-6 people), give access to race entry. (Can choose to pay for each member and be reimbursed, or have each member pay their own way).
- The Race host can be a participant, or not. Upon completion of race, the host will receive a $25 rebate for all your hard work! We know a thing or two about that ;)
If you signed up for this race before March 13:
Thank you for your patience. You have three options: refund, deferral to future event, or transfer to the Remote Race. You don't need to choose until October 31, or whenever the 100 groups sell out, whichever comes first. At that point, we will start issuing any selected refunds. More details on each:
Refund: net of processing fees.
Deferral: to a future race. We don't know if this race will be held in 2021, but we are optimistic.
Remote: You can transfer your entry into an individual entry to the Remote Race. Yes, that is a bargain because you paid an earlybird price that is lower than what we are valuing the Remote Run at. Consider it a thank you for your patience, and we hope you can join with us!
