The Toilet Paper 2.0 "Live Virtual" 5k/10k

***This race has ended. We do have a few extra medals left. If you wish to purchase one, email the Race Director at fjjrunning@gmail.com

It's 2021, and we need all the laughs we can get! So, why not laugh at ourselves a bit!? Remember the great toilet paper shortage of 2020? Now, we've had the gas shortage of 2021, and it felt all too familiar. No medal rack will be complete without a Toilet Paper 2.0 medal, so Relevant Running brings you another of our signature "live virtual" races with a unique and relevant theme!

Join us on Saturday July 17th 2021 for The Toilet Paper 2.0 Live Virtual 5k/10k. This is no ordinary virtual run. It's a unique virtual running event, with thousands of runners who have already experienced and love our virtual race format.  Among other things, there is a scheduled race date and start time (Saturday July 17th 2021 at 8am Eastern time USA), a virtual check in and start via Facebook live-stream on race day morning, timekeeping (runners will provide screenshots or pictures of their chosen method of time and distance keeping), a private and active Facebook group dedicated to our virtual runners, and age group winners. All participants will receive the one of a kind custom Toilet Paper 2.0 medal. (scroll down for pics)

******* If you cannot or do not wish participate on the scheduled race date of July 17th during the race window (8am to 11am Eastern time USA on race day), you can absolutely still register. Please select the "no extras, just send me my medal" option. But, keep in mind, you won't be eligible for age group awards (engraving on your medal) or to be counted among the "official" times posted after race day. For this option, medals will ship weekly starting in early July. NOTE: Please select this option with your initial registration if you feel you cannot make it on race day. This is to avoid last minute requests for changes/partial refunds/etc. as much as possible******

All registered runners should join private Facebook Group for access to positive discussions and posts regarding our virtual races, race day live-stream virtual check-in and virtual start (Please note, the Facebook group is very active and being used for other current and prior races and challenges including the Quarantine Run, 9/11 Remembrance Run, Faster Than Baskin Run, Ronaween, Turkey Trot, and Goodbye 2020 Run) . If you register on this runsignup page, you are registering for The Toilet Paper 2.0 "Live Virtual" 5k/10k scheduled for July 17th 2021.

Race Date virtual check in and start time: Saturday July 17, 2021. Virtual check-in via live-stream in the Facebook group above starts at 7:00am Eastern time USA. Virtual race start via Facebook group above live-stream at 8:00am Eastern time USA. The live-stream will be going while you are running, and we will be waiting for you to complete your 5k or 10k during the race day window of 8am to 11am Eastern time USA. As noted above, if you cannot participate on/at the scheduled race date/time during the race day window, you can absolutely still register. Your medal will still be shipped. But, you won't be eligible for age group awards, or to be counted among the "official" times posted after race day.

Pricing includes shipping as quoted by our shipper, and the registration link is priced to include shipping costs within the Continental United States. Please note - Shipping is via USPS. There have been a few rumors in the news about the USPS having some sort of financial and other issues due to the COVID19 related shutdown. It seems highly unlikely our event's shipping will be affected. BUT, if it is, and changes out of our control must be made to shipping, all runners will be notified via email. 

Timekeeping: Race timing will operate on the honor system. Given the unique nature of each runner's situation, we will accept proof of completed 5k or 10k on race day via text (to be provided in pre-race emails). For example: Treadmill runners may text a picture of their treadmill console. Or, phone app users may screenshot their completed run on their phone app and text the picture. Or, runners using a fitness watch may snap a pic of their watch-face and text it in. You may run in any way that is safe, legal, and ethical in your area. This may be on a treadmill, trail, track, beach, sidewalk, laps around your house, laps inside your house, etc. It is entirely the runner's choice, and responsibility to maintain social distancing and follow all your own local laws, directives, regulations, etc.

Results for those who choose to run competitively will be published in the Facebook Group.
