#RaceVRC #RunWithIntermountain #LoveHeartRace
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women and men. Luckily, you can prevent heart disease by following a heart-healthy lifestyle.
You don't have to start big. Little changes go a long way. Intermountain Healthcare and Virtual Running Club have teamed up to bring you this race to build awareness of heart disease and provide a way for you to take charge of your own heart health.
Part of following a heart-healthy lifestyle is by knowing your 'numbers' and striving to improve them when they're out of balance. Knowing and improving the following can help you stay ahead of heart disease:
- Cholesterol
- Weight
- Blood Sugar
- Blood Pressure
Getting and staying active along with healthy eating and avoiding smoking are also key attributes to strive for. Join us on Leap Day 2020 for this fun race that you can do anywhere you want!
NOTE: Because of Coronavirus, the production team has been put on a mandatory hold until it's deemed safe for workers and products. Because of this our medals are stuck in a production backlog and will not ship to us in time. Our current best guess is that medals will not ship until April.
Because of this delay, we have extended the race timeline so you can sign up and do your race through at least April 15. Shirts, bibs and stickers are not delayed and will be available until March 1, 2020.
Choose Your Swag
Race Shirt
Show your conquering spirit! Choose from basic everyday t-shirts to performance tech-tees.
Shirts are shipped regardless of whether you finish your race.
(All shirts have the same imprint.)
Printed Bib & Sticker
Building your bib collection? Grab one of these sexy collectible printed bibs on waterproof paper. Plus, add a sticker to remember to improve your numbers.
Bibs/stickers are shipped regardless of whether you finish your race.
Keepsake Medal
Want one of these sweet medals? You can't just buy one, you have to earn it by finishing your race!
This unique medal is 4" and is an actual locket where you'll have a slot to put a picture of who motivates you to keep your heart healthy.
IMPORTANT: MEDALS ARE DELAYED. Because of Coronavirus, the production system has been put on mandatory hold until it's deemed safe for workers and shipments. This means our medals will not arrive in the US before the race. Our best guess right now is that medals will ship in April. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Other Important Details
Official Race Day
Registration will be open through race day as supplies last. Most people will run that day BUT you can do it when and where works best for you. Because we strive to honor the tradition of in-person races, you’ll receive messages as if that is race day for you, just know that we’re okay with it if you need to do something different.
Register by February 9, 2020 and your shirt and/or bib will arrive around February 28.
Register after February 9 and your shirt and/or bib will not ship until late March.
Totally was going to do this until I saw the cost. 🙁
Thanks for your feedback Tim. We’ve tried to structure the pricing so you can adjust the package to fit your particular needs. Keep in mind that a portion of the proceeds from these events gets passed through to the designated charity.
Does the 5k have to be done in one day or can you break it up?
You can absolutely break it up. Do what’s right for YOU. Good to have you join us Tamara. 😀
Signed up and ready.
Awesome! We’re excited to have you 🙂
Hi, so as long as whatever I sign up for is completed and time sent in by 3.28 I’d be good? I’d still get my finishers medal?
Yes – There’s a 30-day grace period for each event to report your finish time. If that can’t be done for whatever reason, reach out to us and we’ll do everything we can to get your medal to you!
When we report our time do we need to provide more information beyond saying we did it, like record of fitbit steps? Thanks,
All that is needed is the finish time. Once that is entered, that is confirmation that you did your race – regardless of how long it took you. 18 minutes or 3 hours. It’s just about finishing 🙂
Where do you report finish time? And do You need pictures with it, like i do have Strava. Or just report numbers?
No need for a photo. We trust you.
