I ran the America Runs Virtual 5k as a BibRave Pro.

America Runs benefits local COVID-19 recovery funds and registration is open until the end of September 2020. If you’re looking for some sweet swag, this might be the virtual race for you!

The swag for this virtual race included a cotton t-shirt, distressed trucker hat, water bottle, medal, and running bib.

There wasn’t too much in the way of email communication from the promoters of this race; since it can happen on any day and at any time, there was no big “race day” announcements or getting hyped with a large online community. It’s something that I’m missing from in-person events so that might be something to consider for those hosting future virtual runs.
