FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 1, 2017
The world’s leading virtual race provider, Virtual Strides, has announced that effective immediately, VirtualStrides.com has begun offering in-person, motivational experts as an additional service to virtual race participants. This optional virtual race add-on has been designed for people who feel they need a little extra in-person encouragement to help get through their virtual races.
When registrants are ready to complete their virtual runs, they can simply add one or more Virtual Strides Cheerers And Motivators (VSCAMs, patent pending) to their cart, checkout, and then get ready to run. For only $401.17 per VSCAM, a personalized motivator will be delivered to a virtual runner’s door by Virtual Strides drones “in less time than it takes Cooper to tie his running shoes” according to Murphy, the originator of the concept.
This latest service follows last month’s announcement that Virtual Strides now offers high-quality, water and tear resistant premium race bibs for anyone interested in receiving professionally-printed copies of the complimentary custom digital race bibs provided with every registration at VirtualStrides.com.
Virtual Strides’ mission is simple: Raising money for charity while promoting physical fitness and better health. With participants from 43 different countries, the organization has directly donated more than $250,000 to the beneficiaries of its virtual races.

I was wondering, how come you guys don’t offer the marathon distance or even an ultra distance?
Hi Elton,
We don’t offer full marathon or ultra distances, for a few reasons, namely:
-Naming a race The Something Something virtual 5k/10k/Half Marathon is already a mouthful and we wouldn’t be able to fit any more distances on the medal ribbons.
-We have found there to be very little demand for those distances.
That said, there are certainly plenty of people who enjoy full marathons (and longer) and run them while earning medals in our events. If you do this, you can submit your half marathon split-time with your results, and our system will even calculate this for you if you link your account to any of the run-tracking services our system integrates with.
Have fun!
