Why You Should Run A Virtual Race!

Happy Thursday friends! I hope you’re having a great week so far! We are in for yet another weather change here in Texas so I’m just going with it. We haven’t quite had all the seasons this week but we’ve had more than one. Today I wanted to pop in and share with you a few reasons why you should run a virtual race! A virtual run is just like any other race but there is no set time or place when it can be done. These can be done on your schedule which is a big reason why there are so popular! I just finished the virtual option for the Zooma Texas Wine Country race and here’s why it was a great fit for me!

Reason #1: Virtual Races Can Be Done Anywhere!

My schedule in the past few weeks has been crazy so the ability to run the distance of the virtual run anywhere was absolutely great! Having the flexibility to do so means you can do it outside or on the treadmill. People have their preference between the two and this can be a great motivator to knock out a certain distance!

Reason #2: Distance Can Be Broken Up!

Depending on what your situation is, you can break up the distance into walk and run segments. You can always do it by yourself or join a friend on a different segment of the run. You can do it all at once or you can do in a span of many days. Normally this can be an issue with regular races so this is a benefit with virtual runs.

Reason #3: You Still Get Swag!

The Zooma Races still give you an awesome race medal and some swag to show that you completed the distance! It’s a great accomplishment and something to be proud of so you should wear your medal with pride!
