VIRTUAL RACE
LOCKDOWN 2.0
1 Race. Any Distance. Age Graded.
Welcome to our Lockdown 2.0 Viirtual Challenge. Simply we are trying to keep the running community motivated during this second lockdown and keep the competitive juices flowing with some meaningful competitiion as best we can.
Challenge Format:
Run any of the below distances between 5th November and 2nd December.
1Mile - 2Mile - 5km - 5Mile - 10km - 10Mile - 13.1Mile - 26.2Mile
SEE below to log a run - You can run as many of the distances as you like!
We’ll produce a set of results ranked on age graded score for the distance run (using our age graded calculation). Our thinking behind this challenge is for example a Mile runner can compete against a Marathoner, which could be fun and a bit different! - [ see age grading details here ]
Entry fee: FREE (we are suggesting a donation from £2.50 if that is possible for participants, but we understand these are difficult times so no problem if not possible).
Please follow current government guidelines with regards exercise. If government guidance changes then we will withdraw this challenge.
IMPORTANT NOTE: During these very challenging times when running please do respect yourself and your community and follow government advice with regards exercise - remember overtraining and/or rapid increases in training volume can burden the immune system. If you feel that taking a break from running would benefit you or those you love, please do.
Race Info:
Runners must stick to government guidelines when undertaking this challenge.
Run any of the distances between between 5th November and 2nd December and record using some kind of GPS device - such as a watch or phone.
Log your run here via the below ‘Submission Form’ - ideally we would like a link to the GPS data such as Strava or Garmin file, however if you don’t have this then please email a picture of your GPS device that has recorded the run showing distance and finish time.
Downloadable certificates will be available for every participate after the event.
Final results will be displayed on the website after the event has finished - We aim to post regular leaderbaord updates on the website during the event.
Your virtual races time should be recorded in one go - it’s fine to have a break or stop but please keep the clock running, like it would in a real life race :-)
Route selection - ultimately down to the individual to select their route. However in the spirit of things we will ask people not to use a blatantly downhill route, so the times give a fair reflection of performance and make the competition meaningful.
Runners cannot use a treadmill for their leg.
This competition relies on individuals to be honest when submitting results.
*We may add more rules as we go!
Entry fee: FREE (we are suggesting a donation from £2.50 if that is possible for participants).
