Virtual Races

Registration is now OPEN for our Fort De Soto Virtual Runs during the weeks surrounding September 25, 2022 to coincide with the actual running of our races. This allows athletes to run or walk anywhere in the world and still earn one of our finisher’s medals.

15K, 10K OR 5K VIRTUAL RUNS

In previous years, our Virtual Runs provided funds for numerous non-profit groups including John Hopkins Magnet Enrichment Program, Tutterow Stars, Largo High Girls Cross Country, USFSP Club TRiO S4, Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida, Calvary Chapel Running Team, U of South Florida All Stars, and Operation SNIP.

Our Virtual Runs have also helped raise money for:

• Support Our Marines, Inc. founded by one of our loyal athletes, Dianne Villano, to support troops in the most remote locations.
• Partners For Life Foundation, created by Lorraine Yaslowitz to support families who lose loved ones to senseless acts of violence in memory of her husband Jeff, a K9 police officer in St. Petersburg, FL lost in the line of duty in 2011.

Here’s How our Virtual Runs work:

Our virtual runs are staged completely on the honor system. By registering, we assume you will complete the mileage required.

1) Athletes can complete a 15K, 10K or 5K during the 16-day period around September 26.

2) We will send you the official finisher medal and bib from your event.

3) Please share your results, experience and photos at our Facebook Event page. Your results will NOT be recorded as official results, nor will you be eligible for age group awards or rankings. It is not necessary to send us emails to report results, but you are certainly welcome to share your comments with us.

Thank you for participating in our virtual run – it is very much appreciated by those non-profits we support.

“As one of your virtual marathoners (got my first few miles in yesterday morning here in WI), I want to tell you what an awesome, awesome job you are doing.  The race information you provide is the best I’ve ever read – thorough, easy to understand and covering just about everything.

 Thank you for putting this together.  The work load must be enormous.

 If we lived closer, I would definitely participate in some of your other races.  I’m proud to be one of your virtual runners and so thankful for the wonderful charity work you do.

 Again, thank you.”
