WHEN DO ENTRIES TO THE VIRTUAL RACE CLOSE?
As soon as our limit is reached, this is based on the number of medals available. So the race could be closed with no notice. If you are thinking of taking part virtually, enter now to avoid disappointment.
HOW DO I DO IT?
You run 10K anywhere, entirely up to you where your location is and at what time of day you run.
You record your run on a tracking device (Garmin, Strava or a basic stopwatch function), and then upload your run and time using the "upload my times" button in your race confirmation email.
WHEN DO I DO IT?
You will need to run your virtual 10K before 23:59 on 31st December 2020, and submit your proof by 7th January 2021.
WHEN DO I GET MY MEDAL?
These will be posted out within one week of you sending your completed virtual 10K to us by using the "upload results" button in your confirmation email. There will also be an option to collect from us at our Wilmslow store if you prefer.
CAN I STILL RUN IN THE ACTUAL RACE? (for anyone that was booked into the September 2020 cancelled event)
If you take the option to transfer into the virtual race, you will NOT have an entry to run the 2021 Alderley Edge 10K - unless you wish to enter again, in which case you can do the virtual run and then run the actual race in 2021.
RESULTS
There will be a leader board to view your results and compare against other runners participating in the virtual race. Take a look HERE.
H&S/COVID
Ensure that you are following the UK Government and local restriction when completing your virtual run. Consider the time of day you are running, how populated your route will be and social distancing.
Ensure you run safely, notify someone of your whereabouts and carry in case of emergency details. Plan your route in advance and where you can seek help should you require any medical assistance. It is wise to carry a mobile phone in the event of an emergency.
Plan your route, ensure you wear the correct footwear for your terrain and anything under foot i.e. kerbs, cats eyes, bollards, pot holes, boggy sections etc. Be aware of your surroundings and anything you could have a collision with, cars, passing traffic, pedestrians, animals. Pay attention to the weather forecast, avoid running in extreme heat/cold, ensure you have enough hydration or layers for the weather.
