A virtual race can be run (or walked) anytime, anywhere, outside or on a treadmill. When you participate in RunPups virtual races, you earn unique race medals while raising money for abandon dogs. Typically, virtual races come in 5k (3.1 miles), 10k (6.2 miles), or half marathon (13.1) distances. We also sponsor challenges that have a series of races that you must complete to achieve the virtual challenge.
