Virtual Racing Guidelines
Dates: The race will be held from June 17, 2020 at 7:10 pm until June 23, 2020. You can record your results on any day or time within this period, but results must be in by June 23rd at 11:59 pm EST

Timing: This is a timed race, once you start your run, keep the clock going! Time yourself on your chosen 5k route.

Pro Tip: if you are using a 400-meter track to complete the 5k, that is 12 full laps and one-half laps (your watch may be off). Remember that GPS is typically unreliable on the track so be sure to run the entire 12.5 laps no matter what distance your watch says.

Submission: Results will be collected via Google Forms, beginning June 17 at 7:10 PM EST.
You may submit multiple times, especially as you achieve a faster race time. Your best time will be selected. Please remember that while we will be verifying the top times, this race does abide by the honor system, so be good!

Top Placement: If you would like to be eligible for top placement, then you will need one of the following two verifications:
1. Link to a site like Strava, Garmin Connect, or another site that records your run. Be sure to set the run to "public" and set it to “race”, so that we can verify it.
OR
2. Take a photo or selfie with your time & distance if you're using a treadmill or of your watch if you don't use those programs.
