What is a virtual race?
A virtual race is a race that can be completed anytime and anywhere. Carson Valley Turkey Trot has a race completion time of nearly three weeks (November 1st – Thanksgiving Day, November 24th). With a virtual race you can avoid parking problems, crowds, using a sani-hut, bad weather, etc.  Running a race on your own time and your own terms gives you the most flexibility.
