Virtual Race FAQs:

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL RACE?
A virtual run event is similar to a traditional running event except the participant completes it entirely on their own. There is not a required location that the event must be completed nor a mandatory time.  
 

HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR THE  VIRTUAL RACE?
Your entry into this race is your purchase of a t-shirt. 
 

I WANT TO BUY MULTIPLE SHIRTS, DO YOU NEED TO KNOW THE NAMES FOR ALL OF THE RUNNERS?
No, because this is a virtual race for charity we do not need to know the names of all of those participating. 


CAN I PURCHASE MULTIPLE SHIRTS FOR MY EMPLOYEES AND HAVE THEM SHIPPED TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS?
Yes, place your order with the shirt sizes that you need and then send Samantha Lake an email (slake@cfma.org) with your order number and a spreadsheet that contains the First Name, Last Name, Address, City, State, Zip, and Shirt Size for those that need them at different locations.
 

IS THERE A MINIMUM AGE TO COMPLETE A VIRTUAL RACE?
No, we have no limitations on age.  We actually encourage all ages to participate.
 

DO I HAVE TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE VIRTUAL RACE DISTANCE ALL AT ONCE?
No, the Virtual Race is for everyone no matter what fitness level. Whether you are an avid runner, walker, or cyclist, you can split your race over a few days or weeks and can be in any amount of distances as you feel comfortable with! 
 

HOW DO I SUBMIT MY RESULTS FOR THE VIRTUAL RACE?
Currently, the Virtual Race is based on the honor system and you are not required to submit your results. However, we encourage all participants to share their results and photos from the run on the Virtual Race Facebook page. 
 

WHEN DO I RECEIVE MY T-SHIRT?
Shirts typically arrive a week after the order has been placed.
 

DO I HAVE TO RUN THE VIRTUAL RACE?
No, the goal of this race is to show support for Suicide Prevention. You can do that by walking, running, or cycling either inside or outside. We also understand that many of our participants have different fitness levels. For those that need a little extra time, you can also break up your distance into manageable segments.

All proceeds go to the CIASP.
