A virtual race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym or on the track (or even at another race). You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself. All participants will receive a medal!
What: This is a Virtual race, so you choose your own course and time yourself.
When: Complete your race any time on or before May 16th, 2020! Medals will ship at the end of May.
Where: You choose the course and you time yourself. E-mail MSP-BoltMichigan@michigan.gov with your results. You may include more formal results from your Garmin, treadmill, or other fitness tracking device (although this is not required) all we need is your distance and your time via email.
Why: We want to spread awareness of our mission to place an AED in each MSP patrol car, and to provide for preventative cardiac screenings for troopers.
Cost: The price is $25 and includes a finishers medal. T-shirts are available for $10.
