Vanessa Junkin's thoughts:

I'm not a big virtual race person, but I had a lot of fun with this event! Participants could choose between 250 miles or 100 miles in 60 days, and could choose to run/walk or bike.

One of the things I liked most was how engaging the social media was. A cyclist actually cycled across Maryland while the rest of us ran, walked or biked virtually, and he stopped across the state, highlighting various local businesses. There were also trivia questions and puzzles. This gave the virtual event more of a community feel.

There were 500 gift cards given away, and I won a $10 gift card, for which I got to pick the location (there was a website with choices). The race also benefited the Maryland Food Bank, and $20,000 was raised for that organization.

I thought the race was managed well, and I received the swag within a week after completing my 250 miles (everyone's swag was sent out on the same day). I was excited that this race offered a tank top, as not too many races do. I also received emails. People who gathered a social team of 10 or more participants (which my team did) could get $10 off per person.
