We hope all finds you well. While there is no replacing our in-person Runnin of the Green, we hope to bring you through our virtual event some fun, a few smiles, and our most sincere appreciation and understanding. We will host a live-stream opening ceremony this Sunday, May 24th. Don't worry if you can't make it, it will be recorded so you can view anytime.
We want to especially thank some of our amazing supporters who have helped with either product, etc. Special thanks to KBCO, Boulder Running Company, Cliff Bar, Recoup Fitness, Honey Stinger, Jelly Belly, Adventurist Backpack, Elixinol and Race Roster.
Below you will find all the information for the virtual Runnin of the Green.
Thank you and we cannot wait to see you all in person for 2021 (or hopefully out at another event later in the year).
Sincerely,
HAL Sports and the McGrath Family

How Motigo Works
Instructions for runners:
- Allow Motigo to “access your location” - it needs to be able to do that so the messages play at the proper mileage points
- Choose "Race." On the next screen, pick "Select Event", then choose your “Distance”
- Share Event with your own personal link: Invite your friends and family to pre-record cheers that will play during your race. They can download the Motigo App OR go to our website www.getmotigo.com and “Record Cheers” via web!
On the day of your Race/Run
- Before your run, open Motigo then click “Start Event” and you're good to go (make sure cellular and GPS is enabled for Motigo).
- Turn on any other music or other fitness apps you typically use. Motigo won't interfere with them.
- Start moving! The messages will come on periodically, and your other audio that's playing will automatically lower in volume.
- When you're done, press "Finish Event." All your messages will be archived in “My Past Events” where you will have them to listen to again.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out directly to Motigo – info@getmotigo.com
