Remote Runners Welcome

®

A REMOTE RUNNER® is an individual that participates in one of our events at an alternate location. You can walk, use the treadmill, run outside or participate in another race. You can run your race, at your pace, anywhere in the world. 

 

5Kevents.org’s REMOTE RUNNERS® program is a great way to stay fit and active all year round, run for a good cause and get awesome medals for your participation!

Planning a VIRTUAL 5K? –  Since 2012, 5Kevents.org has offered complete fulfillment programs for races that want to go Virtual. Contact us to learn more about our Remote Runners® Program!.

How about a Small  Group or Mini 5K? – 5Kevents.org’s REMOTE RUNNERS® program is designed for running clubs and groups who wish to orchestrate running events in their communities without the expense that larger events must absorb. 

DILEMMA: XYZ Running club of 25 people wants to orchestrate a St.. Pat’s Day 5K® but simply does not have enough people to do a full blown commercial event.  

SOLUTION: Join the REMOTE RUNNERS program™. We provide the T-shirts, Race Bibs, Finisher Medals and Award Pins in advance of your group run. Then give these to your participants upon completion.   Results can be posted online or kept private within your group.

INDIVIDUAL REMOTE RUNNERS ®

You can complete your race on your own around your home, at the gym on a treadmill or even with a group of running buddies – essentially you can compete anywhere in the world! Our races come with no time pressure – your pace is individual to you and you will earn your medal for completing whatever your speed. You can even walk our races without the fear of crowds at the beginning or at the point in your race when you really could do with that 2 second pause. Each of our races have dates to complete allowing lots of flexibility to complete your challenge, see our website for the race dates and deadline at www.5Kevents.org

FAQ’s

 

HOW DO I RACE IN MY OWN TIME?  

You can complete your race on your own around your home, at the gym on a treadmill or even with a group of running buddies – essentially you can compete anywhere in the world!

WHAT ABOUT TIMING & RESULTS 

 

No official timing necessary for Remote Runners (TM), but you must return back to our website with your proof. We accept many forms of proof, as long as we can see you have completed the distance and the time it takes you, we’re happy.

Examples include Garmin photos, app screenshots, fitbit stats, program times etc.

 

All REMOTE DIVISION results submitted will be included on our Remote RUnners Result Page and for the specific event participated in.  

 

REMOTE DIVISION is excluded from the physical event for TOP OVERALL Male And Female and Age Divisions as they are not professionally timed.

TEAM AND GROUP EVENTS (at their discretion) may also recognize OVERALL WINNERS and are provided medals for that purpose, but is exclusive to each unique group.
