R3 Run Club – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a virtual race?
A virtual race or challenge is an event you complete wherever and whenever it works best for you. Run, walk, hike, or move at your own pace from your neighborhood, favorite trail, local park, treadmill, or anywhere else you choose.

 
Do I have to run the entire distance at once?
No. You may complete the distance in one session or break it up over multiple days. Every mile counts, and we encourage participants to choose the approach that works best for them.

 
Do I need to submit proof of my run?
No proof is required. However, you are welcome to log your results through RunSignUp, but participation is based on the honor system, personal accomplishment, and celebrating movement at your own pace.

 
When will I receive my medal and bib?
Participants who register before an event launches will typically have their medal and bib shipped at the beginning of the launch month. Registrations received after an event begins are generally shipped within one week of registration. Tracking details are emailed once your package ships.

 
Is there a time limit to complete the race?
No. Complete your miles whenever it works best for you during the event period. If you choose to submit results, they must be entered before the event closes. The goal is progress, consistency, and enjoying the journey at your own pace.

 
What does the race package include?

Every registration includes:

• Entry into the virtual event
• Official themed finisher medal
• Commemorative race bib
• Access to our supportive and inclusive community

Additional items may be included for select events.

 
Can beginners participate?
Absolutely! Our events are designed for all fitness levels, including walkers, slow runners, speedy runners, and everyone in between.

 
Do you ship internationally?
At this time, shipping is available only within the United States. Participants must provide a valid U.S. mailing address to receive medals and race swag.

 
Are refunds available?
