FAQ
Top 10 Reasons to run Paws FUR Pink Virtual Edition:
1. If you’ve just started running while in quarantine, this is a great way to virtually compete before you do a in person race.
2. Start at any time you want; no need to be up at 5:00 AM to travel to race venue.
3. Finish at any time you want; no need to worry about the finish line being taken down or roads opening.
4. Finish the distance all at once or split it into separate workouts.
5. Run or walk, skip, jump, hop, roll the distance.
6. You are running or walking with your 4-legged best friend, anyway, might as well get some cool swag and support a great cause.
7. No fighting for a parking spot at crowded event!
8. Hate porta-potties and long lines? No need to worry about that in a virtual race!
9. Freedom of choice on where to pawticipate - outside your front door, trail, beach path - it’s all up to you!
10. Compete with friends around the country, without the travel!
What is a virtual race? How does it work?
Simple! Even though we can't have in-person events, we can still get together virtually. You can create a team and challenge friends to join you virtually and run with your 4-legged BFF.
A portion of your entry fee benefits our Charity PAWtners. We encourage you to support and fundraise for the breast or canine PAWtner of your choice! If you choose to fundraise, you will receive your own fundraising page after you finalize your registration.
REGISTRATION
Can I register my whole family at once?
As long as any your sWAG is set to go to the same address, you can register as many people as you'd like at once. Just add multiple registrations to your cart.
When does registration close?
August 31, 2020.
Does 100% of my registration fee go to the Charity PAWtners?
No, a portion of each registration ($3) goes to one of official PAWtners. Organizing a fun event (even a virtual one) costs money, from the sWAG to technology and marketing.
How much of the registration fee will be be donated?
A portion of your registration and 100% of your donations and fundraising.
When will I receive my sWAG?
Swag bags will be shipped out starting July 20, 2020, and weekly thereafter, after you have submitted your race results. You will receive a separate email confirmation once your sWAG ships.
Do I have to run? What if I'm not a runner?
You don't have to be a runner to join us! Sprint, jog, walk, or roll, we're happy to have you in the race.
How do I stay safe while participating?
Keeping you safe is our top priority--that's why we're holding a virtual event. We expect all participants to follow all local, state, and federal laws while participating, which includes abiding by all health guidance and restrictions in your area prior to undertaking any physical activity. These may include minimum distances from other people, crowd sizes, and/or protective gear requirements like masks or gloves. See the latest federal guidance from the CDC.
