CHOOSE YOUR DISTANCE

DISTANCE OPTIONS:

• 5k (3.1 miles)

• 10k (6.2 miles)

• 15k (9.3 miles)

• 1/2 Marathon (13.1 miles)

• Marathon (26.2 miles)

Race of Hope destination events are traditionally a 5k distance. But, Race of Hope Virtual events offer the flexibility of being able to decide which race distance you want to complete. Virtual Race of Hope gear does not indicate a specific distance achievement so that you can customize your run/walk race experience whether that be a 5k , 10k, 15k, Half Marathon, or Marathon.

​

Plus, you have the option of completing your virtual Race of Hope distance within one session or combining multiple workouts to accumulate and achieve your selected 5k , 10k, 15k, Half Marathon, or Marathon distance.

If you decide to complete your race with the Race of Hope team on August 2, 2020, the allotted event timeline allows both runners and walkers to complete a minimum of a 5k distance. Faster runners will be able to complete a 10k race within the broadcast. Distance warriors can launch with us from their Virtual Corral at the beginning of their distance and then continue on to complete their 10k, 15k, Half Marathon, or marathon distance of choice and check-in to share their race milestones during water stops and breaks.
