S.O. Connected Virtual Run

JOIN THE VIRTUAL RUN

We would like to invite you to join the S.O.Connected Virtual Run brought to you by Special Olympics Texas and Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR). What is a virtual run? Virtual running works exactly the same as any other type of running but the difference is that the entered race can be run at any location, at any pace, inside on a treadmill or outside in another country! You can run 3.1 miles or walk 2 miles. All you have to do is enter a race and provide evidence that you have done it. (screenshot your results and post on your fundraising page!)

Our goal is to raise $250,000 for Special Olympics Texas and we need your help!

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

Everyone!  The S.O. Connected Virtual Run is open to the public!

WHEN IS THE RUN/WALK

You can participate in this event anytime until June 30, 2020. 

T-shirt cut off was June 6th. There is an awesome prize for our top fundraising Team Captain and athlete. 

WHAT IS VIRTUAL RUNNING/WALKING?

Virtual running/walking is a way to participate that can be done at any location, any time, and at any pace at the distance of your choice (3.1 mile run or a 2 mile fun walk). You can walk, jog, use the treadmill, run outside, or you can participate in any other fashion. It's completely up to you! You can run your race at your own pace wherever and whenever you like. If you’re working from home or you’re stuck inside with the kids, this is a perfect way to break up the day and enjoy some fresh air!

HOW TO TRACK YOUR WALK/RUN

Use different apps like Google Maps, Map My Run, Nike Running, etc., to determine a 3.1 mile (5K) or 2 mile route near you! You can do this in a group, with a friend or by yourself. 

INVITE PEOPLE TO JOIN 

You can share your 5K or 2 mile Fun Walk with your friends, family, etc., through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by sharing your fundraising page personalized link.

HOW FAR IS THE RUN?

We will be doing a 3.1 mile (5k) run or a 2 mile walk. Can’t Run 3.1 miles or Walk 2 miles in one day? No problem! You can break the distance up over multiple days to make it more manageable. All you have to do is register!
