Summary: <h2>Mass cancellations of races all over the globe due to COVID-19 have left the running world in a stand still. Runners who have trained for races of all distances have been left wondering what to do with their hard-earned fitness.</h2> <h2>With that in mind, we are launching the <strong>Rambling Runner Virtual Race Series</strong>.</h2> <h2>The series will include virtual races of 5k, 10k, half-marathon, and marathon distances spread over eight weeks. These virtual races are free and open to everyone. Yes, even you! All you need is a Strava account (free) and a device that can track your run (gps watch, phone, etc).</h2> <h2>Let’s all work together to build and enhance the running community in the time of “social distancing” and set some PR’s in the process!</h2> <h2><br></h2> <h2><u><strong>Rambling Runner Virtual Race Series</strong></u></h2> <h2> <strong>Who</strong>: Free for all runners! All you need is a Strava account and a device that can track your run (gps watch, phone, etc). Each race will have a leaderboard on Strava as well as places for you to engage with the other racers.</h2> <h2> <strong>What</strong>: Four virtual races spread over eight weeks. You can participate in as many as you like - but why not go for all four?!</h2> <h2> <strong>Where</strong>: Anywhere you can run the distance of each race. Strava challenges don’t allow for treadmills so you will need to do this outside.</h2> <h2> <strong>Why</strong>: Because we love running, love each other, and love testing ourselves.</h2> <h2> <strong>When</strong>:</h2> <ul> <li> <u>5k </u>- March 28-29<br> </li> <li> <u>10k </u>- April 4-5<br> </li> <li> <u>Half-Marathon</u> - April 18-19<br> </li> <li> <u>Marathon </u>- May 16-17<br> </li> </ul> <p><strong>How</strong>:</p> <ol> <li>Create a Strava account<br> </li> <li>Join the Rambling Runner Run Club (link below)<br> </li> <li>Join the races you are interested in running</li> </ol> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.strava.com/clubs/ramblingrunner" target="_blank">JOIN THE RAMBLING RUNNER RUN CLUB ON STRAVA</a></p> <p>Learn more by visiting the <a href="https://www.theramblingrunner.com/virtualraceseries">https://www.theramblingrunner.com/virtualraceseries</a></p> <p><br></p>
