"Run with the Minions!"

This was a fun virtual race to add into my training. When I heard about this race, I knew I wanted to run it. I mean, who doesn't love the Minions?

I ran it with some of the girls in my training group, and just had a great time. Even though the race itself lists the race as a 5k, you can really run any distance. However, they do want you to just log in a 5k time when you put in your results.

The pom beanie is definitely the best perk of the race. It's not something I can get much use out of here in sunny Central Florida, but I still think it's super cute and fun! The t-shirt is nice too, very soft and comfy. It has made a great jammies tee to wear around the house. :)

This is the first time this race has taken place in Orlando. It was a beautiful morning, and the atmosphere was definitely right for Parrot Heads. A number of folks dressed up for the fun.

The race began at 9am, which was a bit late for me. It's too hot in Florida this time of year, so hopefully, they will change the race and start earlier in 2023. Otherwise, the race was a fun time. Things started off with some dancing fun, and a best dressed costume contest.

Then, the race kicked off in 3 waves. I walked this one due to recovering from covid and taking a fall that morning in the parking lot. Enjoyed the Jimmy Buffett music they had in some parts of the route.

The post-race mini margaritas were great, and they had beer for everyone over 21. Also, they had some vendors in the post-runners area.

Overall, this race was good. I liked the theme a lot. Might be fun to dress up a bit in the future and just do this one for fun, and not worry about your finishing time. Definitely a family-friendly event.

Did the 10k race virtually as part of a fun relay that some of us BibRavePros got together to do. We ran our virtual races all over, and had a blast "passing the baton!"

Running in Orlando isn't anything like running in Virginia through the mountains, but I made the best of it. I loved seeing the actual race pictures and following along my BRPs virtual races.

The medal for the 10k was orange, which I really loved (being one of my favorite colors and all!). This experience got me excited to put the 10k or half marathon on my race bucket list for 2023 or 2024! Got to get up to those Blue Ridge Mountains again!!!

"Fun virtual challenge"

This is a fun, unique virtual race. You run or walk different mileage for each of three levels.

Level one is a 3 mile run. Level two is a 4 mile run. And, level four is 5 miles. This is a fun way to challenge yourself and have fun with a old-school game theme.

Each level completed gives you a digital badge, which is pretty neat. Looking forward to getting my race swag!!

This race series is a lot of fun. I've done Wonder Woman a couple of times, and was excited to run the Batman run this time around.

The swag is awesome, I love the hoodie, visor and medal. They even sent finish line tape! As a comic book fan, this was another great, fun race. I did the 10k with some of my running group one Saturday morning and had a blast. Hoping to run the Superman run next time!

Definitely get registered for this one if you love Batman and superheroes. :)
