The Rugged Raccoon VIRTUAL Race

The Rugged Raccoon VIRTUAL Race is a free event available to participants that registered for the 2020 Rugged Raccoon Night Trail Race, which we had to reschedule for next year. All participants will be sent a medal in the mail after the event.

Race Details:

Ideally, we would have liked for participants to complete the virtual event on trails at night, however, for most people in Ontario that is either not an option or not entirely safe. Because of this, we are going to leave it far more open-ended than initially planned. Basically, we want you to complete a run that is safe, that you are comfortable with, and that follows your local rules and expectation regarding social distancing.

For the majority of us, that means that the virtual race will take place on the road or on a treadmill. We are also not going to set rules in regards to the time of day that you must run, since many people are not comfortable running alone at night.

We really want to emphasize that we expect that you will follow ALL of your local regulations regarding isolation/social distancing.

Please complete your run between Saturday, May 2, 2020 and Saturday, May 16, 2020. We will update all registered participants with information about how to submit their race times. Please keep in mind that, given the circumstances, the results will be considered unofficial and there will not be any prizing for this event, other than your well-earned finisher's medal.

Registration:

When registering for the distance of your choice, please ensure that you accurately enter your personal information and mailing address as this is where we will be mailing your medal.
