The Missing Link is Back: Introducing the Virtual Summer Stride

For years, the Burton Race Series was defined by the "Big Four." When one race stepped away, we moved to a three-race format—but the spirit of that fourth challenge never really left. This year, we’re bringing it back but in a new way!

The Burton Race Series Virtual Summer Stride is the bridge between our spring and fall events. It’s designed to keep your momentum going during the warmest months of the year, and ready for the finish line in November.  

We know that for many of you it is hard to be at every event so the four race format, allowing you to complete three and still get a medal was a fantastic opporunity.  So, this virtual event fills the gap.

No medal, no shirt, just $15 makes, the Virtual Summer Stride the missing link to (once again) say "I did all four" or make up for the events you missed. 

Register: Sign up online just like our traditional races.
Run or Walk: Complete your 5K anytime during the designated mid-summer window.
Share the Journey: Post your finish-line photos or GPS routes using #BurtonRaceSeries and #IDidAllFour to cheer on your fellow runners.
Don’t let the summer heat slow your progress. Help us bring the "Four-Race" spirit back to Burton.
