VIRTUAL OPTION: How do virtual races work?

While our 2025 race is in person, we do have a virtual option for those that are not available on race day, or perhaps live out of the area.

Virtual races do not have an actual race location, runners sign up and complete a run on their own. The day of the race (May 31st) runners will receive an email or text message with directions on how and where to send in their results. We need these results to confirm that runners actually completed a run.  You can run any distance you want at any pace. There is no real 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place. This is a great way for runners to stay active an still collect the medal.

  • Do I have to actually run to get the medal?
    Short answer is YES, but walking is also acceptable.
    Runners must actually submit results or mark on the results link as to have completed their run to actually receive the medal.

 

Packet Pick up:

There is no early packet pick up for this upcoming 2025 year. All bibs and swag will be distributed on race day.

What’s Included

Major Swag

All of STR events are filled with goodies and custom bibs, while we know the killer hills and post race party with plenty of food will make you want to sign up again, we celebrate your finish with major swag. Each STR race has a little different swag because we know nobody needs 14 beer pints, or 12 tshirts.

Aid Stations

All of STR events are full of great aid station with the best available volunteers. The volunteers will help you fill up your bottles and quickly move toward the finish line. Depending on your event distance, our aid stations may include soda, boiled potatoes, candy, gels, electrolyte, salt tablets, and much more.

Cupless Event

Each runner is responsible for bringing their own reusable cup or water bottle. Reusable cups are small, are no problem to carry along while running and will save thousands of cups from being trashed, and possibly blown away littering our beautiful trails. We will have some small collapsible water containers for sale at the event, or we recommend you purchase one in advance at your local running store or online at HydraPouch.
