My Virtual Run Challenge - Under the Sea


The virtual run I signed up for is called Under the Sea Challenge a 300 mile challenge through Virtual Running Club. The Virtual Running Club host both Virtual Races & Virtual Challenges. A percentage of all the registrations are donated to charitable groups. Some organization they donate to are, Make a Wish Foundation Sierra Club, Sesame Workshop, Wander Project, National Park Foundation and Denali Education Center of Alaska

What is the difference between the two? Well, a virtual race needs to be completed by the given date range. The location and when you complete it, it is up to you. A virtual challenge, is a goal you commit to complete. Your are rewarded for meeting each milestone. For example the shell metal displayed, the are small pins on the ribbon, those pins represent each milestone in the challenge. 

Mileage you accumulate can be used for different runs you sign up for and make your own rituals. I have 1 year to complete my challenge, I can go at my pace, run, walk or jog. And I can transfer my walking workouts from my exercise app to the Virtual Running Club app.
