Create Your Own Trail  
Virtual Race Challenge - Sep 26 through Nov 14, 2020

Register For Virtual Race Challenge
Yes, we know. A virtual race is not the same as a "real" race, but with current circumstances as a result of Covid-19 we aren't able to hold our fall Twilight Trail Series as originally planned. That doesn't mean we're going to just cancel and do nothing in 2020. We still want everyone to get out and explore the many great trails in our areas while staying socially distanced, we still want to raise money for a bunch of great local non-profit organizations in our area and also want everyone to still be able to get in on some race shirts and other SWAG. So here's our first ever Create Your Own Trail - Virtual Race Challenge. 

Pick a distance, then, between Sep 26-Nov 14, log miles until you complete the distance. You don't have to run the distance all at once, create your own courses, explore different trails (or even pavement...) log as many separate activities as you want between the original start and end dates of our original intended fall race series, do as long or short of runs as you want, at whatever time or weather conditions you want! That's 50 days to get those miles in, or think of it this way (10 Miles = three 5Ks over 7 weeks, 25 miles = 1/2 mile a day, 50 miles = 1 mile a day):

Step 1: Pick a distance and Sign Up!
Step 2: Invite your friends and family to join the challenge as well.
Step 3: Run (or walk or hike) and log your distance(s) in RunSignUp.
Step 4: Be social, share your progress on the BROR Facebook page, support others and win prizes!

Event Details:
  • Race shirt included with all race distances 
    • Will be mailed to you after registration closes
  • Event is "Rain or Shine" run in whatever conditions you want
  • New Virtual Race Awards! Because we'll be running different courses, times, elevations, conditions; instead of awarding prizes to our fastest finishers like we normally would; we're going to award prizes for categories like: most elevation gained, least elevation gained, most geographic distance covered between runs, most activities logged, longest single activity, best recreation of the Twilight Trail Series courses, and multiple prizes for the best pictures posted on the BROR Facebook page (best wildlife encountered, best doggie companion, most scenic views, biggest log jumped over, etc).
Race Rules:
  • Stay on designated trails, leave no trace :)
  • Stay socially distanced from any other trail goers
  • Portable music players / earphones are encouraged!
  • Feel free to make your own race numbers and wear them, or don't.
  • Running Strollers are permitted wherever they are, and if its a place they are not, then I guess they aren't...
  • There are no cut-off times, run as late into the night as you want... but all activities must be logged by 11:59pm November 14th
  • Respect other people on the trails, remember we're not giving any awards for time, this is not a qualifier for the Boston Marathon, most of all have fun!
