To celebrate an amazing season of baseball, Relevant Running brings you another of our signature "live virtual" races with a unique and relevant theme!

Join us on Saturday December 11th 2021 for the ASTRO-NOMICALLY FAST "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 live virtual race format.  Among other things, there is a scheduled race date and start time (Saturday December 11th 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 ASTRO-NOMICALLY FAST 5K/10K medal (we are only producing 150 of these custom medals). (scroll down for pics). Age group winners will have engraving of their run time and placement for the back of their medal.

******* If you cannot or do not wish participate on the scheduled race date of Sat. December 11th 2021 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 for your medal) or to be counted among the "official" times posted after race day. NOTE: Please select this option with your initial registration if you feel you cannot make it on race day. This is to prevent last minute requests for changes/partial refunds/etc.******

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 Childhood Memories Challenge, Thin Line Challenge, Monster Challenge, America's Birthday Run, Quarantine Run, 9/11 Remembrance Run, Faster Than Baskin Run, Turkey Trot, and Goodbye 2020 and 2021 Run) .

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.

Pricing includes US shipping as quoted by our shipper, and the registration link is priced to include shipping costs within the Continental United States. Any runners outside the Continental United States may have an extra shipping charge, and will be contacted by the Race Director with the amount. Please note - Shipping is via USPS.

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 (only) 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.
