A virtual race is a race that can take place wherever you want, in your own time and at your own pace. A virtual race can be completed on a treadmill, around a racetrack, a beachfront, even during another competitive race, wherever you can run, you can earn a medal!

Fun Run/ Walk Challenge
You can run, jog, walk, on or off road, a treadmill at the gym or even at another race or park run. The beauty of a virtual run is that it is on your terms, all you have to do is enter a race, send us the evidence that you have completed it and that’s it! Your medal will be shipped directly to you and a percentage of all registrations will go to local Irish charities.

Your distance is cumulative so you need to make as many km as possible
