The Virtual Event may be run anytime, anywhere.  You may sign up to Run, Walk, or Ruck! on your time schedule anytime between Saturday, September 4th and Labor Day (Monday, September 6th). A virtual run may be done anywhere:  in your neighborhood, in a park, on a treadmill. You can also spread it out over a couple days.  This is a great way to get started on a walking or running program.  

Please note:  The Virtual event is a separate event and is mostly for fun.  You will receive a shirt, a participation medal, and may download and print a digital bib.  Your times, although recorded through the RaceJoy app (should you choose), are not included in the tally for race medals and awards at the competitive in-person event on Saturday, September 4th.  

This is a charity event to assist with the Scholarship Program at The Justin Pepper Foundation. Established in 2007, The Justin Pepper Foundation provides awards and scholarships to youth that excel in community service activities.  In the past seven years, the foundation has provided $35,000 in scholarships, assisting students with educational opportunities beyond high school.
