The Virtual Jackass
THE VIRTUAL JACKASS: It's a virtual race of multiple distances where runners and walkers compete in any combination of the 4 distances they want in 48 hours. It's a virtual race which means you will be competing from wherever you are in the world. Distances will be recorded using a gps watch or smartphone app (see info below). You will then submit it to us when you are finished, and we will compile the results.
DISTANCES: Marathon, Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k from June 27-28, 2020. DO NOT make it short but don’t make it much longer either. Each distance must be at one time and not pieced together throughout the day.
Date: June 27-28, 2020.
Marathon – 26.2 miles
Half Marathon – 13.1 miles
10K – 6.2 miles
5K – 3.1 miles
How many of the four can you complete in 48 hours? They are all affordably priced.
Finishers will receive a medal mailed to them after the race is over for each and for every distance they sign up to run. Run all four distances over the weekend to get the complete set.
THE COURSE: You make your own course for each event and run it anytime you want in the 48 hour time period. Make it fast or slow, make it trail or road, make it uphill or downhill, run or walk, with friends or solo, anyway you want it as long as it's the correct distance for your race and outside (treadmill results will not be accepted).
RECORDING YOUR PROOF/SUBMISSION: We are requiring GPS data to prove you ran the distances and to help make sure our results are as fair and accurate for everyone in the race. DO NOT CHEAT. Once you are done, screenshot as much information as possible (not just the watch face) and/or email us the link to your results (please make them public for our review) so we can tally them all. We will especially need result links for faster paces.
Remember: your result time is your ELAPSED Time NOT moving time so we will need to be able to see ELAPSED time on your submission.
All screenshots and links should be emailed to RunItFastJill@gmail.com by 11:59pm Central time on Sunday, June 28, 2020. You can email them as you do each event. However, once you submit your data/result to us then that is it. The one you email to us will be your completed entry. If we do not receive an entry for any particular distance it will result in a DNF.
GPS Run Tracking/Options: If you don't have a GPS watch, you can still use a free smartphone free app to track each of your runs/walks. Some of the better ones & our recommendations are Strava, Map My Run, or RunKeeper.. All available on iOS or Android app stores for smart phones. They are FREE. If you need one for the race, download it, play with it a bit before you start your miles.
RESULTS: They will be posted on UltraSignup after all submissions have been reviewed, verified, and ranked. As stated above, this virtual is 'proof-required.'
(Residents outside of the US may be charged additional shipping unless you have a US address the medal can ship to.)
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email us and ask.
