Wyoming Valley Striders 20K Run

After careful consideration for the safety of runners, race officials, volunteers, and spectators, the Wyoming Valley Striders has decided to make this year’s 20K Run a virtual race. Although we are saddened not to share the day with our fellow runners and provide a top-notch race experience for them, we are excited to bring them this virtual experience! 

This virtual race will allow runners to complete the 12.42 miles anywhere on one of three days from Friday, November 6 through Sunday, November 8, 2020! 

DETAILS

Race Dates: November 6-8, 2020

Race Distance: 20K (12.42 miles)
Complete your miles on the original D&L course at the Lehigh Gorge State Park, White Haven Access Area or other trails, or in your community.

Race Cost: $30 (club pays processing fee)
(WVS members receive a $5 discount with code 20K202012-42)
Only the members of the WVS can use the discount code and save $5 or if you become a member or renew your membership for $7 during the checkout process, you can also use the code. Online registration closes November 5 at 11:59am. 

Hoodie: Race fee includes a new color commemorative hoodie (PURPLE) for entrants who register by October 20, 2020. Hoodies can be picked up at various locations leading up to and during the event. (email was sent to entrants on 10/28/20 with specifics)

Age Group Awards: Trophies to the top male and female. Medals to top 3 males and top 3 females in each age group. See below for age group award categories. 

Raffles: We will have a select number of prizes that will be randomly drawn based on finishing entries.

Result Submission: Runners can submit their virtual results including a GPX or FIT file through RunSignup or by emailing GPS results to tony.pszeniczny@gmail.com between Friday, November 6 and Sunday, November 8 at 11:59pm. If emailing, include a screenshot that clearly shows your name, date of the run, distance, and time to complete the 20K.

Awards will be given based on reported results and we are trusting in the athletes to be honest. Results should be submitted by total elapsed time. That is to say, breaks during the run, for example, take a drink of water, stop to rest, stop moving, etc., must be included in the submitted results. Race results that do not meet a full 20K distance will be disqualified.

Posted Results: Results will be posted on RunSignup no later than November 15. Top male/female and age group winners will be notified once results are compiled. 

Runners who registered for the original event prior to 9/5/20, must log into RunSignup, click Manage Registration, click Questions, and sign an updated waiver. Refunds or deferrals will not be accepted. 

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we navigate this year’s virtual race.
