We know that right now is a very serious time for the world and many
are being affected by the Coronavirus. Our thoughts and prayers are
constantly for those that have been affected and the courageous
members of the medical field and first responders that are on the
front lines helping out. While we respect the seriousness of
what’a happening, we know that we can help connect people around the
world through one of our VIRTUAL RACES. Did you know that National
TOILET PAPER DAY TAKES PLACE ON AUGUST 26, 2020? We thought one
way to honor this day is The GREAT TOILET PAPER CHASE OF 2020.
TOILET PAPER HAS BECOME SUCH A HOT COMMODITY THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC
AND THIS MEDAL WILL BE A WAY TO REMEMBER THIS CRAZY TIME IN OUR
HISTORY. So lace up those shoes, keep six feet away from everyone
else and race for the TOILET PAPER! Since it’s a VIRTUAL RACE YOU
WILL BE ABLE TO AVOID THE CROWDS BUT STILL PARTICIPATE IN EVENT WITH
OTHER PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD!
The majority of proceeds will be donated to charity. We will be
donating at least 30% of each registration to the Covid-19 Solidarity
Response Fund through the World Health Organization
[https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/donate],
this fund will:
* Send essential supplies such as personal protective equipment to
frontline health workers
* Enable all countries to track and detect the disease by boosting
laboratory capacity through training and equipment.
* Ensure health workers and communities everywhere have access to
the latest science-based information to protect themselves, prevent
infection and care for those in need.
* Accelerate efforts to fast-track the discovery and development of
lifesaving vaccines, diagnostics and treatments.

A virtual race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location
you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on
the treadmill at the gym or on the track (or even at another race).
You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself.
Running or walking these virtual races on your own, or with friends!
And your medal will be shipped directly to you. Complete a virtual 5K
or 10k, or challenge yourself and complete our virtual half marathon!
