How does the race work?
Once you sign up, you'll set a goal (distance or time) to run/walk. It can be any distance you like but we challenge you to make it something difficult but attainable within one month or less. Each time you go out for a run/walk, log the miles and time on your RunSignUp account. We'll send you regular reminders to submit your information so don't worry if you forget to log something.
At the end of each month, starting on July 31st, we'll tally the results and ship out your race packet.
Do I have to live in a city to run for it ?
Of course not, that's the great thing about virtual races, you can run from anywhere in the world anytime you like.
When are donations made?
Each month once your race packets are mailed we'll send a check for a portion of all event proceeds to a local food bank serving the communities where each Run My City event takes place. When we write a check, we'll update the donation tracking page so you can see the progress towards our goal of raising $10,000 for the food banks
