What is a Virtual Race?
With the current COVID-19 conditions and health measures in Northeast Nebraska, the committee decided that the most important factor is the health and safety of participants, volunteers and spectators. A virtual race opens up the race running window from Sunday, June 7 through June 20. Instead of participating in-person, everyone will be asked to run the planned course along the Cowboy Trail, in their own neighborhood, on your treadmill, or wherever they choose by June 20 and submit their results digitally (text or e-mail).
Details About the New Virtual Race:
- Route: The race route is now your choice! We do encourage runners to run the same route on the beautiful Cowboy Trail, however, but you may run the designated distance any where you wish, including a treadmill, if desired. Virtual races (5K, 10K,1/2 Marathon, & Kids Fun Run ) can be run anytime between 12:00 a.m. on Sunday, June 7 through 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, June 20, 2020.
- Cost: The cost to register for the Virtual Race will remain the same until registration closes on Friday, June 19 (no price increase on June 1 as originally advertised).
- Registration Deadline: The deadline to register has been extended to June 19, 2020 at 11:59 p.m.
- Donations: Donations and proceeds from the race will continue to benefit pediatric needs in Northeast Nebraska.
- T-shirts: Our super-soft, awesome t-shirts will still be included with registration!
- Results: Participants can choose to submit their time via e-mail or text option to be included in race results.
- Awards: Medals will still be awarded to all half-marathon participants. Medals and monetary prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd & 3rd place finishers of the half-marathon Virtual Race. Medals will still be awarded to the 1st place runner in each male and female age division of the 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and Kids Fun Run
- Packet Pick-up/Delivery: A packet, t-shirt and medal drive through pick-up event will be held on Friday, June 26. Designated pick-up times will be assigned by last name and by appointment. More details TBA. Shipping will be available to participants unable to attend the packet pick-up event.
