How to run our event virtually!
Can't join us on race morning? No problem! Now you can run with us virtually from wherever you are! We have made it easy to run or walk from wherever you are and whenever you choose to do the run/walk (as long as it is completed by April 26, 2025 - our race day!). Virtual participators are not eligible for age group awards. We know that not all people are physically able to complete 3.1 miles at one time. No problem, spread your event out over as many days as it takes you to go the distance! We hope you will enjoy the great spring weather of April to do your event, but there are occasions when a tread climber is the only way to get your miles in, and that's fine! Does your dog like to go with you??? Great, get a pic of you and your dog and submit it! We would love to be able to share it! We know of one participant in a previous VIRTUAL who walked her 5K with a horse she was training! (And she sent us a great pic of the 2 of them. . . ). Another participant in a previous VIRTUAL event counted all the steps she takes during her daily activities, including house cleaning, and found she had done a 5K. So, if you are not a "natural-born" runner, think out of the box and do whatever works for you to get your miles in. And you will be a healthier and hopefully happier person as a result of that exercise!
Following one of the simple steps below:
- Run anytime in April - through the 26th!
- Choose your own course
- Most importantly….have fun and enjoy the time outside!
All virtual participants will receive an official Frog Hop Five race shirt!
