WHAT IS A VIRTUAL RACE?
The simplest answer is it's a race at your own pace, on your own route and on your own terms to support and promote awareness for a Charity. How you accomplish the race is up to you. Run, walk, crawl, dance, skip, bunny hop, it doesn't matter, this is about you enjoying exercise and supporting a great Reason.
Just like a traditional race, you'll register, have results recorded, receive swag and feel a sense of accomplishment. Virtual race distances vary, so find a distance that is comfortable for you or one that will give you a challenge. Most importantly, smile a lot and enjoy the event.
HOW DO I SUBMIT MY RESULTS?
Visit the Results page and click the tab to submit your information. We ask for your name, race title, distance, finishing time, and of course we'd love to see pics. Posted results from past races can also be located on the Results page.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Typically racers of all ages and fitness levels can participate in a virtual race. We will indicate if one of our race themes has an age restriction. We encourage you to consult with your medical physician before starting a race.
WHEN DO I RECEIVE MY RACE PACKET?
By participating in a virtual race, you are supporting a Reason and the swag may vary between races. In many cases packets will range between a race bib, finisher medal, race shirt and/or goody bags. The packets are meant to be earned when you've accomplished your challenge. It's our policy to distribute the packets after you've submitted your results.
If you want any portion of the race packets prior to starting the race, please email us at contact@forthereason.com We'll do our best to accommodate you and your time line. Many requests come from racers wanting to wear their race specific shirt if they are running in a team.
We'd love a pic of the team!!
WHAT PORTION IS DONATED TO A REASON?
As much as we have a passion for assisting our participants to be motivated of completing a goal, Run For A Reason was founded on the principal of supporting charities, the ongoing research for cures, organizations who bring awareness to partner charities and to causes that are important to our participants. Our commitment is to donate a minimum of 15% of the total registrations for a specific race. We reconcile with all charity partners on a quarterly basis.
CAN I PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DONATIONS?
Of course. Many event registration pages contain a link to the specific charity's main or donation pages. Please contact us for any questions about additional donations.
MAY I RECEIVE A REFUND?
Unfortunately we cannot offer refunds for our events. Many of the race packet items are ordered immediately upon a completed registration. All sales are final. If you're not able to participate in the race but would like a larger percentage of the fee be donated to the Reason in place of receiving the race packet, please reach out to us at contact@forthereason.com
HOW DO I RECOMMEND A RACE FOR A REASON ?
If you are a charity or have a charity, organization, event or an idea in mind that should be considered please visit our Contact page or email us at contact@forthereason.com We strive to support all Reasons that benefit or bring awareness to a cause, no matter how large or small.
