Run With Us!
Gone For A Run Virtual Races began in 2015, as a way to encourage people to get out and enjoy running, while also benefiting a variety of charitable causes.
Virtual races are a great way to start running or for seasoned runners to use as a fun training tool. Each virtual race has a fun theme and includes a tee or accessory complementing the race theme. A few of our perennial race themes include a Valentine's Day, St Patrick's Day, New Year's, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and other seasonal and fun virtual race themes.
By choosing a virtual race, you don't have to get up at pre-dawn hours or travel to far-off places to get the thrill of accomplishing your goal. You can run whenever and wherever you please within the designated virtual race dates. People from around the world have participated in our virtual running events. Many runners (and walkers) create a virtual race event and include family and friends to participate. Check out our past virtual race photo recaps showing groups of friends running together and completing the virtual races.
Once you register for a Gone For a Run Virtual Race you will receive a race packet. The virtual race package includes an awesome finishers medal, an authentic race bib and either a race t-shirt or another race themed wearable accessory. Gone For a Run virtual race medals get called out in social media on a regular basis – they are well designed, colorful, large and many have unique features! Regular virtual race participants have a dedicated medal hanger for these medals and a designated BIBFOLIO® bib album for the virtual race bibs.
Gone For a Run donates a portion of every registration fee to benefit a charitable partner. We believe in the commitment to "Run It Forward", and are proud we have been able to donate over $50,000 and growing!
Let's do this! Start training and when you're ready to officially run the race, pin your bib on and head out to complete the virtual race anywhere on the road, trail or treadmill. Once you have completed your race, proudly wear your well-earned race medal and be sure to share your photos and results.
