I LOVE
Pluto! You know Pluto made his debut for
Walt Disney in 1930 in the Cartoon The Chain Gang; but I am so excited about
his debut this Month in the Virtual Running Short Series!
Pluto will
be the honorary host this year, and he is inviting not only you but all of your
canine friends!!
This Special Edition of the Beyond the Kessel Run Podcast is dedicated to runDisney's Virtual Races this summer. I know a lot
of you may have never participated in a virtual race before – so let’s cover what that
is first!
So, a
virtual race is a “race” that can be run anywhere you are – anywhere in the
world! It is a self-motivated
competition that allows you to challenge yourself to complete a mileage goal –
5K, 10K, Half, etc. You can run/walk and
do so anywhere you want to. This is
really motivating too because you pick the route – one that suits you! There is also a time frame that you must
complete the “race” in order to receive the Medal, and you report your times
online.
Now, let's go over runDisney's Version of a Virtual Race...
What are the
runDisney Running Shorts Virtual Races?
You have
your choice of 3 different Virtual Races to run during 3 Months of the Summer…
In June,
July and August
Each Month
will have a different Medal, a Downloadable Bib and a Finisher Site to input
your virtual race results.
You have a
month to complete each race, and if you sign up for the Challenge Series, you
will receive a Special Medal - 4 medals
in all!
What is the
2017 Theme for the Virtual Races?
The Theme
this year is Pluto and the Charity is Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando. runDisney wants you to include your pet in
this series to show your support and love of animals! So… if you
sign up for the challenge series, you will receive a special dog tag and water
bowl for “Your Pluto!”
How much
does it cost?
Each virtual
race is $40 or $142 for the entire series.
How do I get
my Bib?
Bibs will be
available for download on the runDisney Event website.
When will I
receive my Medal?
Usually
within 30 days after the race has completed.
How do you
receive your medal?
Medals will
be shipped to the address you provided when you signed up. They will not ship to a PO Box and if you
live outside the US, there will be extra charge for shipping.
Are there
commemorative Items?
Yes! Special
Magnet, Baseball Cap and Jacket!
How/When do I Register?
Registration will be Tuesday April 11th
at 12 Noon Eastern.
Registration will just like any other runDisney
race: You will navigate to the runDisney Virtual Shorts
Event Page, click Register , and complete registration through Active.com.
** Note This Race is Still Available!
How do I follow other people running the race
series?
runDisney created the hashtag #runDisneyShorts for all of
us to use! So be sure and post on
Instagram and Twitter and use #runDisneyShorts !
It should be a great summer for running and getting outside with your pets, too! I'm looking forward to participating and would love to keep up with you, too! Let me know if you are in with Pluto!
