FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS?
DO I NEED TO ENTER?
Yes- the first time you enter you must first create an account with our event entry partner- RaceRoster.
Once you have registered, you will have the opportunity to enter your chosen event. If you wish to enter more than 1 of the events on offer, you must enter each of these events in an individual transaction?
WHERE CAN I COMPLETE MY VIRTUAL EVENT?
Your virtual event can be completed anywhere. Given each person will complete their event individually, each course will be different- with different gradients and surfaces. This is the nature of a virtual event . If speed and competition are what you are after, we encourage you all to find these fast courses and (safely, legally and honestly) try and reduce your times.
This doesn't apply to the cycle events, which for safety reasons, MUST be completed virtually (On Zwift, Trainer Road, Sufferfest etc).
Please ensure your location complies with the current government regulations. Where possible, we suggest you complete your event from or near your home to avoid any unnecessary travel.
CAN I COMPLETE MY VIRTUAL RACE WITH OTHERS?
Please follow all government regulations, both federal and state. Social distancing is essential to overcoming this crises so we strongly suggest that you complete your event alone. Any person/people we deem who have completed the event contrary to government regulations will have their performance removed and will be unable to re enter.
CAN I PARTICIPATE IN MY CHOSEN EVENT MORE THAN ONCE?
Yes, to improve your time, you may compete in the event you have entered as many time as you wish. After your first attempt, please upload your results to the results page. If you complete the event faster at a subsequent attempt, you can upload again and your previous result submission will be overridden (therefore, only reload if you record a faster performance)
CAN I COMPLETE IN MORE THAN ONE OF THE SIX (6) EVENTS ON OFFER?
Yes you can, you can compete in as many of the events as you wish. However, to do so, and to ensure you can upload your result, you must enter each event individually.
I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO RECORD MY PERFORMANCE?
Regardless, we recommend that you use a smartphone app to record your training and races- they are great for keeping track of your training and connecting with others. Popular choices include Strava or Runkeeper. You can find them in the app store for download to your smart device.
Of course if don't have or can't download these, no problem. We ask that to the best of your ability mark out the distance to be completed, and then take a photo of you doing it for upload. We trust you!
WOULDN'T IT BE EASY TO MISLEAD OR CHEAT?
As you would appreciate, there NEEDS to be an element of truth and trust in logging your times. We are sure if the correct times are not submitted that peer pressure and friendly rivalry will take over and the truth will eventually come out. Remember, we are doing this for fun and to remain connected. If everyone is honest, there will not be a problem.
ARE THERE ANY SAFETY REGULATIONS?
Apart from the government regulations that relate to COVID-19, we advise the use of common sense when completing the event. Please remain safe at all times, and if running, obey all road rules. Ultimately, this is an opportunity to have fun, while keeping fit and connecting with other participants in a virtual sense. Everyone participates at their own risk, so please be careful and responsible!
ARE THERE ANY AWARDS IF I COMPETE?
Apart from the satisfaction of being part of an online community keeping fit and connected, every participant who completes the event will receive a virtual medal, and a digital finishers certificate.
