I Run 4 America Virtual Race Review

August 4, 2021

I Run 4 America Virtual Race Review Being the patriotic gal that I am… and a disabled Air Force veteran, I had to sign up for this one! I signed up for the I Run 4 America challenge on June 13, 2020. Excited, I completed my 10k on June 15, 2020 and received the finisher’s packet on June 20, 2020. I have a lot of trouble not signing up for every race I see that could be considered patriotic in nature. I love my country! Despite the turmoil we’re in right now, I love my country and respect how far…

Tough As A Mother Virtual Race Review The Tough As A Mother Virtual Race was the fifth race that I signed up for. It was the second race that I bought myself as a Mother’s Day gift last year. It made me think of the Mom tattoos that you see on the strongest scruffy guys in the movies and I liked it. So I got it. I signed up for this race on May 9, 2020 and received the medal on May 11th. The 10k was what I elected to achieve in order to earn this medal, granted… I actually…

Mom Patrol Virtual Race Review The Mom Patrol Virtual Race was the fourth race that I signed up for. To be honest, I really just wanted the badge. I thought it was cute. I signed up for this race on May 9, 2020 and received the medal on May 11th. The 10k was what I elected to achieve in order to earn this medal, granted… I actually received the medal before I completed the miles. I did finally complete it though… on May 22nd. Race Details Fee: $24 Type: 5k, 10k Gear: Medal, Bib Difficulty: Easy Website: Virtual Pace…

Savannah Virtual Race – Yes.Fit – Race Review

Savannah Virtual Race Review The Savannah Virtual Race was one of the very first races that the Sloth and I signed up for. In fact, it was race #3 for me. We had just taken a road trip to Savannah less than 3 months prior, so when we found this race we had to have it. We had already walked the city of Savannah and, believe me, we did well over 11.66 miles. So, we had already earned the coin in our eyes. But we went ahead and repeated the miles to earn the coin. It took me two days…

Don’t Slow Your Roll Virtual Race Review The Don’t Slow Your Roll Virtual Race was the very first race that I signed up for. I think the Sloth signed up for it at the same time. It was the race that got us both interested in participating in virtual races. I mean… golden toilet paper in the year that people stock piled toilet paper preventing others from getting any. How perfect! It was a very fitting medal to start our collection and remember the year of 2020 by. I signed up for this race on May 7, 2020 and received…

Virtual Pace Series – Race Platform

Virtual Pace Series Review The Virtual Pace Series platform is one that I frequently participate in. My reviews of the races from this site will be very, very similar. The themes of the events are different, based on certain holidays, movies, current events, etc. So you can participate in just the events you’re interested in. This platform isn’t as interactive as some of the others like the Best Damn Race Florida one was or the Conquer 2020 race. There aren’t maps that track your progress or anything like Yes.Fit does. Races Completed with Virtual Pace Series Don’t Slow Your Roll…

Patriot Day 5k/10k Virtual Race Review Today I signed up for the Patriot Day 5k/10k Virtual Race. Patriot Day is an important day for me. I will never forget what happened that day. There are several virtual races with this theme again this year and I’m not going to skip them like I did last year. This one is just a simple 5k or 10k, your choice. You don’t have to do it on a specific day, you can do it any time you like and anywhere you like. Race Details Fee: $34.99 today only / $50 regular Type: 5k…

Best Damn Race Florida – Race Review

Best Damn Race Florida Virtual Race Review This race was the 8th virtual race I signed up for in 2020. It was, by far, my favorite race. For the first time, Beck and I signed up as a team to conquer this one together. And, as a team, we won 1st place in the race! Neither of us had ever one first place before and we didn’t know that we would get a medal for doing so. It was the greatest of surprises after we finished this one. Being in first place most of the race was certainly motivating. Being…

Run Signup – Race Platform

Run Signup Race Review Run Signup is another race platform which allows you to sign up to and complete multiple virtual challenges. Its a little different from the other race platforms I’ve reviewed so far. This one actually allows you to create races. So it looks like the races I’ve completed through this platform were actually set up by customers of the platform. For the same of simplicity, we’ll call them race hosts. It looks like the race host sets up the race through this website and decides on the gear and theme. The Run Signup platform takes a small…

Conquer 2021 Virtual Race Review The Conquer 2021 Virtual Race is the second yearly challenge that I’ve participated in with this platform. I’m not sure what the price was, I don’t remember honestly because I got this one for free as part of a buy 3, get 1 free deal. I purchased three other races with this platform which I will participate in at different times. For this one, it is just like the Conquer 2020 race except that I am running 2,021 miles instead of kilometers. I obviously haven’t finished this one yet as it is a year long…
