The Virtual Women’s Half Marathon offered a half marathon distance, a 10k, and/or a 5k. A Combo of any two races for the double challenge and all three races comprise the Triple Challenge. The half marathon was designated at 7 am on Saturday, with the second race of your choosing at 7 am on Sunday. One thing I really enjoyed is that the race director gave a send-off at the top of the hour for each time zone. You could watch her live video on Instagram, then start your race. I really appreciated this attempt at a community start.
The swag was also great! I did the triple challenge so I received their super cute shirt, a bondi headband, three gorgeous flower-shaped medals (with charms!), two bibs, two samples of sunscreen, and two sample packs for hydration powders. It's so nice that I received two of the samples and of the bibs because that meant I could use a set for each day of my virtuals.
I want to say that the race directors and the race itself were VERY active on social media. It gave the whole virtual experience a much larger community feel. 10 out of 10, would race again!
