What Is a Virtual Charity Race?

A virtual charity race is an event where participants register online, complete their run or walk from a location of their choice during the race dates, and support a nonprofit organization connected to an awareness cause. Participants do not need to travel to a specific location or run at a specific time. They choose where and when to complete their race.
