FAQ
1. How does the virtual 5K/10K work?
Participants can complete the race anytime, anywhere during the event window from any location they choose - outdoors, on a treadmill, at a track, or on a trail. Simply track your distance using a fitness app, smartwatch, or treadmill display and submit your results online before the deadline. Be sure to #DWRGotMeRunning #PAWSRun.
2. Do I have to run the full distance all at once?
No. You can run or walk at your own pace. Some participants complete the full distance in one session, while others split it up over leisurely strolls.
3. How do I submit my race results?
Results can be submitted through the event registration platform or by email. Participants may be asked to upload a screenshot or photo from a tracking app such as Strava, Garmin Connect, or MapMyRun showing distance and completion time. Be sure to #DWRGotMeRunning #PAWSRun
4. Will I receive a medal or race packet?
Yes. Registered participants will receive a virtual race T-Shirt or Tank Top, and a Commemorative Finisher Medal. Shipping timelines may vary depending on registration dates and participant location (packages will ship 2-4 weeks after signing up)
5. Can I participate if I’m a beginner or plan to walk instead of run?
Absolutely! Virtual races are designed for all fitness levels. Whether you run competitively, jog casually, or walk the course, the goal is to stay active, have fun, and complete the challenge in a way that works for you.
