What is a Virtual 5k run?
A ‘Virtual 5K’ gives runners, walkers, wheelchair rollers, and 5k enthusiasts like you, a chance to participate in a 5k event no matter where you are located.
Meaning, you do not have to be at the physical 5k location to participate in the event! COOL!
To be a ‘Virtual 5k’ participant, runners visit www.trainingpeaks.com (routes link), or any other mapping site they are comfortable with to find a running route or choose a sponsored 5k event that is in your area. During a designated time period complete your run and post your time by Race Day. Results are commingled and posted with the Best of the Boardrooms 5k results. The Virtual 5K is a convenient way to be active and involved.
Steps to Participating in a Virtual Race

Send invitations to have others participate with you for the virtual event.

Points are awarded to the nominees based on number of participants from their company, or association.
Step 2: Map Out Your Own Route
