Virtual Participation Information
What do I get with my Virtual registration?
With your Virtual registration, you will receive a Technical T-shirt, Bracelet, our Legendary Swag Bag and FREE Home Delivery of your race kit.
How does a virtual walk/run work?
A virtual walk/run can be completed from anywhere, anytime before or on the in-person event day. You can walk/run your own route at your own pace. Do what you feel comfortable doing. The most important thing is that you are participating to support women’s mental health programs in your community while being active.
When can I complete my virtual walk/run?
The deadline to complete your walk/run and submit your virtual results is April 19, 2025.
Do I need a bib number to participate?
No, you are not required to wear your bib (which will be delivered to you with your Race Kit). However, we encourage you to wear your bib if you're taking pictures and posting on social media!
How do I record my walk/run time?
The Wednesday before the event (April 16) you will receive an email with your timing link where you can submit your time. To track your time, use any of your favourite timing apps. You will have the option to submit your walk/run results through the personalized link that will be emailed to you.
Do I have to walk/run the full distance at one time?
As long as you fully track your walk/run and complete the distance you've registered for before the submission deadline, you are welcome to take breaks or split up your distance over more than one day.
How can I share my accomplishments and photos?
You can share your photos, accomplishments, pre-event training and support for the event with our community online by tagging us on social:
