What is a Virtual Race?
Join the Race in Your Own Space
- Run
- Walk
- Bike
- Swim
Virtual race events are an ideal way to promote exercise, as well as support causes and celebrate community. You pick the type of race and anyone can join!
A virtual race can be anytime and anywhere, even indoors on a treadmill!
The flexibility for participants makes it easy to schedule and fun as they can determine their own race environment. Best of all, all the money earned through the virtual race tool goes directly to your organization or charity!

Once an organization has chosen their package and race details, the virtual race can be ready for registrations in 2-3 weeks.
We recommend having 2 weeks before your event or challenge starts to allow users time to sign up and create accounts.
All our packages include full website training on all aspects of the tool. You will be able to make the changes yourself or contact our help desk and we can make any changes quickly.
That’s entirely up to you. A virtual race can be configured for a 1-day event, a 2-6-week challenge, or a few months training schedule.
Courtland is happy to provide discount pricing to add more events and will customize any package to fit your needs.
