Virtual Running Club

Virtual Running Club is a company founded in 2013 that organizes virtual racing events in which participants race wherever and however they want over a set period of time. This can include by walking, running, or even swimming and dancing.
Once participants register in a race, they report their time in Virtual Running Club’s mobile app. When they finish a race, they get shipped a finisher medal. Shirts, bibs, and other merchandise are also available for purchase.
Virtual Running Club has partnered with Sesame Workshop for several races beginning in 2019. Each race had different distance options that participants could choose from, such as 1K, 5K, and 10K. 
These races benefited Sesame Workshop and the Yellow Feather Fund.
The dates below refer to the official race day, though participants typically have an extended amount of time to log and report their times.
