A virtual event is one that you can participate in from where ever you are. There is no set location. There is a set day or time frame for completing the event. Ours is May 25th-Aug 3, 2019. There is reporting that you completed your participation in the event. For ours, reporting is done to one of the following Facebook Groups: Fitness Challenge Group Fitness Fanatics Group Carter Lackey Memorial Miles Group or via email to CLMM@tspt.biz Check out this article, "What Exactly is a Virtual Race?" on Active.com for more explanation. |
How do I register? |
Registration is easy. Online and paper registration is available on our Registration page. |
Registration Options? |
Distance Options Single Distance 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon Fitness Challenge 20 "miles" per week for 10 weeks Fitness Fanatic As many miles as you can over the 10 week virtual event |
Do I have to complete my miles all at once? No. You don't have to...but you can. If you are doing a single distance, you can select the option to do all of your miles at once, in a single half marathon run for example, or cumulatively over the course of the event, walking a mile a day for example to complete the marathon distance. |
How do I complete my miles? With ANY fitness activity you want! Miles can be completed one way (ex. biking) or in a variety of ways. In the past, participants have used more than 30 different fitness activities to complete their "miles." They have run, trail run, hiked, walked, kayaked, biked, swum, wrestled, tumbled, danced and Zumba'd their miles. They have played basketball, football, nerf tag and volleyball. How you do your miles is up to you! |

Can I create or join a Team? SURE! Anyone can create or join a team! There's no extra charge to create or join a team! Teams are a great way to spread information about Mitochondrial Disease and to reach people who never would have thought to participate in a virtual event! Because of this we have special team awards! You can start a team on either the Registration or the Team Page. Want to join a Team? Indicate your team when you register, or let the event coordinator, Liz Terwilliger, know via email (CLMM@tspt.biz) or by messenger from the Carter Lackey Memorial Miles Facebook Page. |
I have more questions!!!!! No problem. Contact the event coordinator, Liz Terwilliger. Email: CLMM@tspt.biz Facebook messenger from the Carter Lackey Memorial Miles Facebook Page. |
