Virtual Runnin' of the Green is a virtual solo running challenge. It is meant to give runners a challenge and a way to compete against each other during this difficult time. Results will be part of the 2020 HMRRC Grand Prix. Please keep in mind that as of March 31st, NY State is still allowing solo outdoor activities, but please pay attention to updates. If the situation changes we will adjust accordingly.
To register for virtual Runnin' of the Green simply go through the Wild Apricot registration form, there is one difference from a regular race. You need to run first, then register, and report your time as part of the registration process (that way your time will uploaded to our server and we can compile the results).
Virtual Runnin' of the Green is free, and open to any runner. Only HMRRC members will be scored for the Grand Prix (as is the usual case with any of our races)
1. Runners must run a solo time trial of 4 miles. We do not want to encourage even small groups to congregate.
2. The route can be any 4 mile course in the Capital region, or near your home if you are an HMRRC member who lives outside the capitol region.
3. In the spirit of fairness the route should be a loop or at the very least not have significant elevation loss.
4. The time trial should be done in between April 1st and 26th.
5. Results will be compiled and scored as part of the HMRRC Grand Prix. We realize since people will be running different courses, at different times, in different weather it is impossible to make it completely fair. However these are unique times and we are doing our best to offer our runners a challenge and a way to compete against each other.
