What Is A Virtual Race?
A virtual race is like a traditional race but it takes place in any location. You can walk or run wherever you may be, at any time during the race timeframe, for your chosen distance. It’s completely up to you!

The virtual race will be held over a 3-day period from Friday, September 10^th thru Sunday, September 12^th. You choose your location and run a 5K or 10K or walk 1 or 2 or more miles.  Once you and your team members are finished, post your race photos on social media and tag @centerffs on Facebook & Instagram for the chance to win some great prizes! 

Participants will receive an Empower Run & Walk custom printable race bib upon registration and an event t-shirt after the race.
