A virtual race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location you choose. You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself. All participants will receive a medal!

- When: Complete your race any time between June 27th and June 29th. Medals will ship by July 18, 2025.
- Where: You choose the course and time yourself. Text your results using the link provided when you signed up and that will be your official time.
- Why: You want to participate because you love Albion as much as we do: you just can't always be in Albion in person.
- Cost: The price is $30 and includes a finisher medal and race swag.
- Series Awards: There will be no series awards for participants in virtual races. If you participate in 2 in-person events and 1 virtual event, you'll be eligible for in-person series awards.
