    How Virtual Races work:

  1. Choose a distance (Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K or 5K) and consider fundraising for the kids of St. Jude.
  2. Learn how to track your race, receive live updates and encourage your family and friends to track you on your race day. 
  3. Use the Virtual Experience toolkit to prepare for your race day. 
  4. Run your race virtually with us! While you will be able to run your race in the weeks leading up to our official race day, we highly encourage you to join us virtually on the official race day, Saturday, Dec. 7.
    2-Race Challenge participants will complete one of the two distances in weeks leading up to race day and complete the final distance on race day, Saturday, Dec. 7. Details on when to run your race coming soon.
