Virtual Races for everyone

H guys,

Saw someone ask about virtual races today on FB.  I've done a few. They can be a lot of fun and some of these even offer medals!

I thought I'd suggest a few places where you can find virtual races tonight. Hope this helps you get through any isolation or cabin fever.  Stay fit and keep on keeping on.

Connect on Apps
Sometimes you want to race with friends. These apps allow you to connect real-time with others as you train.  To access all the functions you will need to subscribe.  However, it can be helpful to have your friends interacting as you train when you can't get out with them physically.


Zwift
Strava
Peloton Digital

Train alone but race against yourself and others: Virtual Races

Find Virtual Races of all Kinds 
Find Virtual races by distance below. Each Virtual race has links to its marketing page and registration page. Whether you are looking for a Virtual running event, Virtual cycling, or a Virtual triathlon you will find your race experience listed below. If you are a virtual race organizer, add your race to our calendar.

Yes.fit  Running


Dozens of races of all distances.  You pay a fee, like a race fee and log your runs until you complete the challenge.  You get a medal and a tee if you like.  I did the Ring of Kerry 100 mi race.  Many of these individual races are also part of a series that you can do to get a set of medals for the group.

Yes.Fit is flexible and a fun fitness challenge app that anyone can do. Start with shorter events and manageable workouts then progress to longer events and more strenuous challenges. Your new workout routine is based on your own pace and time frame that fits your lifestyle, schedule, and individual goals.
