Question

I need advice - I want to do one of those virtual marathons, and have seen some popup on Facebook. Anyone do them, recommend one versus another? Thanks!  

Answer 1

I didn’t do a marathon but I did a 5K this week. It took them about a month to send my shirt and medal.  

Answer 2

I'm doing my first one now. It's nice because you do it at your pace and you get a neat medal once you've hit whatever distance you chose to run/walk (1mi, 5k, 10k, and marathon). The one I'm doing now is for Memorial day (the "races" are themed), so its getting me to walk, at least, every day. And, it gives me my own deadline of when I want to finish the race. Since this one is for Memorial day, I want to have it finished by the actual Memorial Day. I'm only walking, and my goal with the "race" is to walk the 5k in one round.

@iz62 thanks! I really want to do one, and I think I will have to just sign up and do it!

@pushball They're fun, and there's a bunch of different ones and some apps. I'm doing one through yes. fit, and my next one is going to be through "virtual races". I'll do anything for bling! And each race I've seen goes towards charities, which is cool. I'm focusing on the dog run/walks and the autism ones.
