COMPETE RACE

A virtual race has typically been a great way to have some fun and earn some great bling, but never has it had the same level of anticipation and competition as an in-person race – Until Now!

Introducing the world's first competitive virtual race. Participants can still do their race on their own time and when/where they choose, but using the proprietary "Compete Score", it levels the field.

The Compete Score takes into account speed, duration, elevation change, temperature, dew point, and wind to give all participants a specific score that can be compared regardless of when or where the individual races took place.

All participants interested in being considered in the results using a Compete Score will need to register for this race AND create an account at competerunning.com. You will also need a Strava account to sync to the Compete site. We suggest you sync your Strava and Compete Running accounts soon so you can start to track your runs and get an idea of what your baseline is.

Then the race will take place from October 17 through November 1. You will need to choose one of your runs during that period and submit that through the Compete Running website. After all scores are submitted, we will tabulate and verify results and release the rankings of who won!

Awards will be given to overall winners and gender and age-group winners.

In addition, our standard rules for virtual races apply. See more here: 

To honor the spirit of traditional races, we require that anyone that registers for a medal can only earn their medal by finishing their race. We verify that a race is finished using the honor system by having participants report their finish time to their VRC account (created during the registration process & tied to the email address entered). Participants can take as long as they need to finish their race and can do it however works best for them. Most participants walk, run or hike their race and ideally, they are using their own power to go their distance, but leave room for individual adaptation where necessary. Biking, swimming, rowing, etc. are welcome. 

Medals do not ship until after the official race day. Participants can complete their race whenever they choose, but that "race day" will be the day that all timetables are based on. In order to be awarded a finisher medal, there is a 30-day grace period to report your finish time (following the start of the race). Multiple people may be added to a registration. All participants are tied to the main registrant. Only that registrant will get updates about the race and their email address will be needed to report the finish time.
