Will the event be timed?

What Is a virtual run?
A virtual race essentially means registered racers have from now until May 2 to choose a day to run or walk their own fun run or 5k, route. This is a great way to spend some time outside while at home! The beauty behind a virtual race is that YOU can choose the location of which you will run or walk! Simply map out a mile or 5K  route and get to walking or running. You choose the time and the place! Virtual runners will receive a shirt as long as they register on or before April 15, 2022 by 11:59PM. This event will not be timed. You may time your own virtual experience. 
Packet pick-up info:
Wednesday, May 1st from 5PM - 7PM at Compassionate Heart Ministries (404 Centerstone Court, Zeeland, MI 49464). This is for any registered participant to pick up race stuff! *If you are participating in one of our virtual events, this is the day to stop by and grab your shirt! :) Race day check-in begins at 4:30PM (another chance to grab packet).
