My race year thus far has been nothing but virtual races. Today I got an email stating that Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago Half Marathon has been canceled this year as well as next year. They offered six transfer options as well as one deferral to next years Rock ‘n’ Roll Nashville Half Marathon. At this moment, I feel it is best to accept the deferral to Rock ‘n’ Roll Nashville Half Marathon even though that feeling of uncertainty is still there with a second covid-19 wave looming. I am well aware of Americans not being able to enter Canada, so Detroit International Half Marathon is also up in the air. There could be a possibility of running on Detroit soil instead of doing the International race which goes into Canada.

- DC Wonder Woman 5K (virtual)
- Humana Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago Half Marathon (canceled)
- Detroit International Half Marathon
- CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Marathon (virtual)

Good luck on any of the runs you decide on. Hopefully you can visit my town of Nashville soon. But not now. 🙂 Most is shut down now.
The Marine Corp Marathon is also doing a virtual 10 k this year. I am signed up and ready!!!!
Nice! I bet they have a sweet medal. Anything I have gotten from anything Marine Corps has been nice looking. Going to look it up.
i can send you the link it is really cool

actually I’ll just send you the link. Starts October 1! I am so excited!
Sweet! I’ll probably go big, and do the 50k. It’ll be fun racking up the miles on the Des Plaines River Trail.
How long do you have to do the 50k? That is 30 miles I do that in a week easy!
I didn’t see a limit, but I will check back again before registering which will be soon. I plan to break the mileage up. Going to set my Garmin at the 30 mile distance then break my runs up until I hit the distance. With it being a virtual I have no interest in being out there running 30 miles within a day. I’ve done it before, but it was an actual race.
They just require you to run the distance and submit your time. I’ll most likely break it up and do at least 5 miles a run until I hit 30 miles. It’ll give me the chance to run in different places instead of one boring ass place.
same for the 10k, although they were talking about possibly having a tracking application for verification.
I applaud them too because they have affordable prices in comparison to other race directors ripping people off.
I’ll base my decision off of whether there is a tracker application.
i was waiting for that, but decided i wanted the shirt and didn’t wait!
Seasoned runners are hip to these race directors ripping people off for some ridiculous virtual race with no meaning. If there ain’t no results shared on a site, or the price not reasonable then I am staying away. You’ll see a lot of those bs virtual races listed on Facebook. They sell you on the medal more than anything.
i’ve seen a lot of them. I just wanted to do the Marine Corp one!
Excited to possibly visit Nashville Tennessee next year for Rock ‘n’ Roll Nashville Half Marathon
