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 11^th thru Sunday, September 13^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, you can post photos and results to the Empower Run & Walk Facebook page.

Participants will receive an Empower Run & Walk custom printable race bib (emailed to the address used when registering) and an event T-shirt after the race.  Random prizes will be awarded (you must post photo/s to the Empower Run & Walk Facebook page to be eligible!)

Team Captains or individual participants can pick up race t-shirts at Center For Family Services, 1 Alpha Avenue, Voorhees, NJ, or shirts will be shipped to race participants, following the 3-day virtual event.
